help identify new wheels please !
 

just picked up some new wheels. i had 3 slow punctures on the standard ones that came with the car when i bought it, n they looked a bit crap anyways. fitted my BK121's off my old car n discovered one of the wheels was damaged. looked like it wanted to be a hexagon instead of a wheel !

anyways, got these today from Jap Performance Parts. almost mint condition, although the hubcaps are missing. i know they are 16"x7J as it says that on the inner hub recess, but dont know the offset, make or model of wheel. anyone know what these wheels are? :-

mmm... look a bit speedline ish to me :???:

i think i know the ones you mean, but they are 12 spokes n mine have 15. they also dont have a hub cap that covers the wheel nuts, mine should do but the cap is missing

Look like team dynamics to me mate.

nah, i thought that after looking on the net but the spokes on all the team dynamics wheels are slightly different on the outer edge:-

my spokes and the outer lip are flush. the team dynamics ones are flush but recessed a little in between the spokes on the outer rim. hold the mouse over the picture on the above link and you will see what i mean. otherwise they do look the same apart from that 1 small difference

they look like a cpoy of oz tarmac+garvel wheels

apart from the centre cap, i agree, the rest of the wheel looks the same.
someone on SN said they thought they looked like old TSW's n should have a big centre cap with a nut n pin on. anyone know what he was talkin about as i'm not that familiar with wheels

in your second pic,it does look like you can put a big centre cap on it.look at little srewdriver slot. get big caps and put pig stickers on them :mrgreen:

well, that was part of the reason i am trying to work out who made them so i can get caps, or are these size caps all he same regardless of wheel manufacturer?

aparently, whoever makes these wheels, they are replicas of the old tsw imola

Team Dynamics Monza:ok:

Older model ones, without the recessed bit on the rim:ok:

aha, so its an older version of the new monza i linked to earlier. thanks for finding that for me !

Try Halfords or Rimstock for replacements:ok:

Ask if they can order you a set in, after they have let you try one from the new style to check fitment:ok:

Halfords do the centercap bits for around £50 iirc, but that was many years ago when i used to work there, personally id go somewhere else to find them as there likley to **** it up :-(

as posted previously, I now know what these wheels are, but before i did, I e-mailed a picture to TSW(Yokahoma) thinking it was one of theirs. Just had a reply from one of their sales executives which would have been realy helpfull if i hadnt already found out what my wheels were.
Really nice to know he actualy took time out to examine the picture i sent him & check it with their back-catalogue.

Read some other posts on a googel search n people had tried contacting team dynamics to find out where they could get the centre caps n they never got a single reply.
I will try halfords, probably several times due to the knuckle dragger ordering the wrong bit, n maybe even make some if i have to, but if i'm ever in the market for new wheels, I am thinking TSW purely because of how helpfull they were when i e-mailed them.
