Default New wheels and a thank you

Back in June fellow RL'er JDD posted this thread https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...good-home.html giving away some wheels
I was lucky enough to be the first to contact him and I picked them up. They turned out to be some pretty nice quality unknown brand 3 piece Japanese wheels. Besides being dirty and some curb rash, they were in decent shape. I decided they were worth refinishing so I ordered some new lips and basically waited all summer for them to arrive. I had a friend powder coat the faces and also had the lips polished and bough some nifty center caps from ebay. I finished bolting and sealing them today and I'm happy with the result. Hoping to get tires mounted tomorrow.

Thanks again JDD

Vandit, thanks they ended up 8 and 10, didn't measure offset yet.

Tomato and Alex, they're not work or RH. The only markings are made in japan, 5x130 and 96.

Hopefully going on the car today or tomorrow.

They look great. I bet Thrasher can tell you how makes them he has had similar wheels for sale in the past.
