Default What kind of wheels are these?

Can someone tell me what kind of wheels these are and what there value is? They may need to be refinished and one looks like it may need fixin if it is fixable. I am told they are C2 Turbo style 3-piece wheels is this correct. Thanks

They look like BW or Kinesis wheels with a little dip to the center section.
Definitely not speedlines.

Dunno, but those rims are chewed up! esp. the second picture near the top, it's seriously bent up!

Is that one rim fixable? What are they worth in the condition they are in?

These are a Speedline knock off. I believe they are a brand called Kerscher. Don't know much about them but I hear they are decent copy although with damage like that I would say no more than $1000 for the set most likely less.

They look also like a set of RH wheels that are no longer made. There are versons of this wheel that look 3 piece but are actually 2 piece so be aware.

Smokiemon944 on the list has a set just like these or simpilar in RH 3 piece for I think $1350. I looked at them but like a deeper dish look.

Also noticed in your pics that the centers are more squared off than some of the more expensive knockoffs or originals. They look very similar to a set of C2 replicas I had that were german made ( I think) and had an emblem like 2 letter Us -- UUU cannot rember who made them.....

regards Mike

I thought so originally myself but the RH's used to have 38 bolts these have 40 and the new RH's have the 40 bolts. The reason I think these might be the Kerscher's is because of the very sharp line around the lug bolts. Kerscher is the only after market copy I know of that didn't round this area. Although these appear to have a deeper dish to the center section then the Kerscher's.

FVD has some single piece copies made to look like the 3 piece wheels.

Once my eyes focused on the wheels (avatar is a bit distracting) Obviously not the same. Was wondering who made that design wheel. I know of a 928GTS that has these and they look great on it.

Wasn't there a firm called BW that used to advertize in Excellence that sold these?? IIRC they were in Ohio . . .

No not mine. Still running stock wheels on mine because of the RDK system. Don't need flashing lights telling me my wheels are flat.

This was a 94 and they discontinued the RDK making it easier to swap wheels.

Pretty car though. Especially in Iris blue very rare.

RMD,
A good wheel shop should not have a problem fixing that. Should not cost more than $150/wheel to straighten.

Wow. That's a useless website. Do they still make the speedline copies?
