Question Who makes these wheels

I bought these used and I cannot remember who is the manufacturer. Anybody have similar 3-piece 17" wheels with polished rim and could tell me the manufacturer. These appear to be Made in Japan.

Actually I don't think it is 3.6 Turbo wheels..
I recognize them but can't remember the name.
But ATP as Shaun says ring a bell.

If you look carefully where the inner piece connects to the the outer piece you see that the factory wheel is smoothed out in a way the wheel on first picture isn't.

Stephen,

Thanks for the compliments! You should miss this car!

I still have BBS in my car, don't worry. I am looking into trading these wheels for track wheels, phonedials or similar 16" which fit to -86 Turbo without spacers.

Duke you got me suspicious with pointing out the radius of the spokes. Quick google search for ATP did not find anything close to this model.

You mentioned that those are 17", correct?
What is the condition of the wheels? What are the specs on yours (all the same, or 8 front 10 back??)
Drop me an email. I will be interested in taking them off your hand if we can agree to a price.

Jaime you have mail.

And there is ad in rennlist classifieds which should answer most of Jaime's questions.

I am looking for track wheels preferably 16" Phonedials with 23 mm offset.
