I was looking at some pics and think these are the Volk Challenge rims.

These were my favorite until the SSR GT1 came out.

And if I were to use these rims I would powder coat the entire thing.

Look identical to Sparco NT-Rs (even the same "chiseled" end where the spoke meet the rim) but where the lug nuts mount and the center cap is different. Maybe Sparco knockoffs?

I too agree that they are sparco knockoffs. I've seen them on a red FD in bronze on a post awhile ago.

Haha, that red FD is "bricke's" car, and his wheels are authentic Sparcos (for what they're worth).

Hmmm,

I'm still not convince that they are Sparco's or knock offs.

If u look near the center, it looks more like a Volk Challenge:

Those are NOT Volk Challenges. Geez, with two 21" monitors you can't tell a difference? If you look closely, there's no ribbing on the interior of the rim, and as I mentioned above, there's no "chiseled" edge at the outer end of the spoke. Compare with the picture of the Challenge; it is smooth.

Anyway, I think "Mahjik" found the rim. Sparco knockoff Exels.
