I have these wheels but only have 2 of them and wanted to maybe get another 2 so I can put them on my car.

they are 18X8 et 38 weight 69kg

I cant tell what the wheel make is, I tried looking on the back and can find info but no manufacturor and I dont recognise the center cap.

anyone know or can help please.

thanks

Eddie

On checking the wheel weight cause i though wow thats heavy, it says 690kg on the back now that cant be right, is it meant to be 6.90.

How much would you expect a tyre to weigh? so I can check the weight no point putting them on if they are well heavy

thanks again

690Kg might be the weight rating of the wheel. My tyres have 600 and something kilo\'s stamped on them meaning they can handle that much load.

Eddie

Cheers grant didnt think of that

Lesmon

looks like Gewalt Advans Mesh - not sure though....

SiH

The problem is they look like one of hundreds of wheels that style - don\'t recognise the logo in the centre - any closeups? are there any stamps anywhere on the castings?

Lum

Defo look like Gewalt\'s mate i used to have em on mine but the centres where gold.
I think Gewalt are a fairly common wheel in Japan as lots of cars seem to come into the country with them on, don\'t know of anywhere to get them in the UK though.
Might have to try Yahoo Auctions?

i have some that look the same and they are proper 3 piece split rims but have silver centers, two have scuffs on the rims but would be ok with a refurb, they are work wheels if i remember right, they would be the right price if you need some more drop me a call if you are interested on 07950399080 cheers craig

What a guy, got a brew and he took time out to show me his car as well.
