Need wheel identification/authentication

Post by zeus »

i posted this on 2failteeAtl but should have asked you guys FOERST.

i picked these up and want some of the "experts" to chime in. they are stamped made in japan on the back so i'm guessing rs watanabe but i want to make sure.

they are 13 x 6.75 and the lug pattern is 4 x 114. i can get better/closer pics if needed. thanks for helping out.

Wats have their logo cast into the middle of the wheel between 2 spokes like this one. notice the circle on the right of the wheel center. plus the spoke shape is not correct for a Wat.

They don't make rewinds in 13"

My guess would be panasports or minilites. Better pictures would help too, any casting marks could point in the right direction.
