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.

looks like panasports to me. so many wheels of that design, though, hard to say.

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.

Minilites arent made in Japan so those are out, at least legit minis.
