Who knows which rims these are?

Hi,

I just bought my second FD. The guy said the spoiler was a 15th Anniversary Mazdaspeed one, the suspension was 1-4 adjustable Mazdaspeed coilover, and the rims Mazdaspeed.

So far I have verified that the suspension and wing are definitely Mazdaspeed, and everything else on the car was exactly as he described (Greddy gauges etc)

What I would like to know is if these are really Mazdaspeed, I haven't got any reason to disbelieve him but would like to know if my plans to restore the wheels are worth it or not. If they are real, I will go ahead, otherwise I might invest in some new wheels.

Thanks

Trevor

Looks like you need to change your signature

Not sure on the wheels, they dont look like any that i have seen before. I would *definitely* get rid of that horrid front bumper though.

They look similar to the ms-01's, but not quite the same:

Yes there is a similarity with the MS01s, perhaps they are an old model that Mazdaspeed made considering that my car is a '92 so they could be quite old.

BTW, the rubber on thos wheels will definitely go, the old owner really cheaped out when he bought those tires!

Sorry, ignore the post. These looked the same (to me) at first, but they're not.

Those Racing Beat rims are supposedly custom made by "Chevron", if I remember correctly.
But those things look suspiciously like the Black Racing BR6 Sport rims...

RETed, is your post referring to My rims or the ones Sgtblue posted?

Sorry, my reply as for the eBay pics.

At the time of my reply, I could not see the first post pics.
I see them now.
They look like Work Equip 3-piece to me.
I notice the Euro plates though - it could be some small Euro company rims, as I seen a lot of them when I went up to CZ.
