Default Yet another "can you identify these wheels" thread...
I dont think I've ever seen these before. They are 19x8". Normally they would be too narrow for me, but I'll probably use these for 'driver' wheels and get a set of smaller/lighter wheels for taking her to the track since I dont race on the street save for some running on the highway. The seller bought them used so he doesnt know what brand they are.






Thanks!

Agreed, they look like they belong on an Accord or something.

those look like HP design HPR5s or Ruff Racing 278s. Those are not at all import wheels.

I didn't mean they looked like they came off an import...too wide...but the style reminds me of that style of wheel. It's a good looking wheel, just not something I'd put on an f-bod.

I do not really like those wheels at all. But to each their own. I think it does sorta look like something that belongs on a G35 or somtin, but that might just be me.

All the wheels I have seen have the manufacturer stamped/cast into the back of the wheel somewhere.

Yea, in my eyes you should have went that route. Now I guess you can go buy you some VTEC emblems.
