Hey guys,
My latest addition to the farm is a 79 parts car I picked up lastnight. The car is in rough shape,but there are some good parts. The wheels on the car are ones I have never seen before,and they are made in Italy. The are 13" models,and they say B10 on the inside,and 55JJx13,BWA 203,and KBA 40158 on the outside. I will attach a picture of them. One of the wheels has a piece broken off of the center hub that holds the center cap,but it may be salvagable. Oh yeah the center caps have the old school MAZDA "M" with the long tails on it as well.Here is a pic.

The pattern looks similar to the rims that I had on my 79'. These are also 13", has the same "KBA" marking on the outside, and also has the old school M center cap. From what I was told before when I posted my rims was that they were either some RX-3 rims or a special option available at the dealership during the 78'-80's. Because they look very similar, I'm guessing they are also made by Monza (since I have that printed on the outside) or by Mazda themselves. But I think it is cool that you have the red center caps and I have the blue ones.
Oh yeah, the picture.

The only markings on the inside center section is "Made in Italy",B10,and another marking tat looks like a circle with 79 in the middle,and some other stuff around the edge that I can't make out.
I really would like to sell the wheels,but I want to know what they are first.

Need bigger pics, can't read the casting marks. Try and take a close up shot of each individual casting mark, front and rear. From what little I can make out, I don't see the JDM equivalent of our DOT marking. If you can't get good pics, write/post all of the lettering that's cast/stamped on the wheels.
