Name This Rim!

[mitchy_]

i have a set of Sparco Racing rims..

however i have absolutely no idea what model they are!

and i have never seen a set on any website or anything to do with sparco.

i'm actually chasing 1 centre cap and nut for them, but i dont think ill ever find one

hopefully someone out there knows what they are, who makes them, or maybe even has a nut/cap they would like to sell to me?

sparco ns2 python

sparco ns2 python

dont think it is, they are slightly different.

[mitchy_]

this is a (bad) picture of the NS2 python..

see how this has a round cente cap, and the spokes stop before it.

whereas with mine, the centre cap has notches in it where the spokes meet and curve?

hard to explain!

[Mr. Oizo]

i see what you mean

the spokes on yours are rounder too

[mad082]

i call the rim frank.

other than that i don't have much else to offer. my mate has 2 sets of the ns2 rims

after having the tyres pulled off the rims today, to go to be powdercoated, i noticed they have "CRIMSON INC." and "ASAHITEC" written on the inside lip.

crimson inc. - http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/ - seem to make sparco rims, but i couldn't see mine on there, and i can't read japanese, nor could i email them

asahi tec - http://www.asahitec.co.jp/english/ - seem to be involved in making forged aluminium rims, which these are, but i couldn't see sparco rims on there either.

[JaiJai]

hmm intresting nice rims anyway why did you wanna know?

[mad082]

if they have both names on then they may be copies, and not genuine ones.

[Munkyb0y]

frank? lolz

i was thinking hewbert.

my go. tell me what my rims are. cheap copies no doubt. they say altstar on the centre cap.

They're Racing Sparco's sold by Crimson Inc, manufactured at Asahi Tec's factory. Asahi make a lot of the "made in japan" wheels.

indeed, crimson inc are the sellers on sparco rims, and asahi tec made them due to being forged aluminium.

i've emailed both company's with a picture, and asking for details, etc..

but i have a feeling they wont understand english..

and im 99% sure they aren't copies..

i dont think many places make light weight forged aluminium copies of ight weight forged aluminium rims.

Centrecaps pop up on YJP often, just keep an eye out.
