    I believe they were made by Enkei. They are a 3 piece wheel and are (I think) 15x7 and 4x100. Not sure of the offset.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

      just did some quick research and they seem to be American Racing wheels? and these were 16x9 3 pc wheels. And rare from the looks of it

        American Racing, but they are 3 piece. If anything 2 piece, but alot of the RS style wheels are actualy one piece, welded, with fake bolts. Theyre pretty cool though, Id totally run them if I stumbled upon some

        Welded

          Do you know the exact name of the wheels by any chance? They were for sell and a friend told me about them. They are in good condition and I am trying to call the place but can't through to them even after trying 4 of their listed numbers -_- wtf?! now I'm praying those wheels are still there.

              Very rare wheels.

              American Racing Model "398"

              I've owned 16x7ish versions of these. They were 2 piece. I'll be buying them back from a local that ended up with them.

              On r3v I've seen people with 15x7, 16x7, and 16x8 sets. I'd love to have some 16x9's though!


              My old digicamo e30, I never had caps for them.

                    I got a set of these as well. Like said they was a three piece. But the barrels are welded together. And the center is still removable. No I think the weld could be cut, but then the question is, what lip could be used to widen them if one would ever want to? Slightly off topic, but since we are talking about these, thought I'd ask.

                        That's cause they are two piece. The factory welded the lip to the barrel for some reason. The center is still removable though.
