Standard wheel makers

Post by Drunkn Munky » Thu Jul 26, 2012 6:27 pm

Ive always thought Enkei made the wheels for NC's but i noticed today on one of my spares it has asahi tec stamped where enkei usually is. Anyone else noticed this on their wheels? or do i have some dodgy copys

Enkei did the vfr 17/18 but asahi tec did the rvf 17, maybe the contract finished after the vfr was made.

Also the front asahi tec have a rectangular block on one spoke with something like 32R on it.

I knew this. I had various wheels at some point and check them for identification and marks.

Rhory is right on this. One love.
