Wheel Identification

[dojobi]

Hi all,

I found a pic of these mags a while back, and now I'm considering getting them (if they're cheap enough). Can anyone identify them? I've tried searching all over the net and can't find them. Even just a brand would help.

Cheers,

Michael

They are called Starcorp Racing Impuls.

Very cheap, especially if you get the package deal (with crap Falken ZE-326 tyres):

the starcorp ones are rip offs i have them. They look like the proper equipe wheels dont know what the name is but equipe make them.

Thanks guys. I can't believe how fast your responses were! Even if they are ripoffs, I'll check them out to see if I like them in person. Being cheaper because they're ripoffs is good for me too

Cheers,

Yes I failed to mention that the real deal is called Work Equipe. Will be WAY more expensive than the Starcorp replicas.

When it comes to rims, go Jap/Euro or go home.

Yeah, Work certainly aren't known for being cheap. They make good rims though. I'll have to do a bit of research on them before I even consider getting them. Thanks for the help.

my bro has em on his supra, they look bloody good in shadow chrome. i dont see the harm buying the starcorp over the Works, if only based on looks and price.....

[dojobi]

I suppose it depends on the quality. I can't see them being so dodgy that they'd fall apart, although I have heard 1 or 2 horror stories about shoddy mags.

And yeah, they do look damn good in the shadow chrome.

And the fact that the work wheels are full 3 piece wheels available in almost any size/offset, whereas the starcorp ones are only available in one or 2 withs per size with generic high offsets

I have more than 6" dish on mine (widebody Cima)

Starcorp Impuls are +20 on the deep-dish 18x9.5 and 19x9.5 versions.

At the last SAU NSW cruise, there were about a half a dozen people with those rims.

I was considering them for a while too, but when I had a look at them closely I just found that they looked cheap. Nothing I can write out, but when I look at the finish and the edges of the spokes, it just says "dodgy chinese knock-off" wheel.

I have noticed that they are different from the Work ones, as the studs that go around the edge stop on every spoke on the knockoffs. I'll try and see both in person before I make any decision. $4500 vs $1900 (or lower) is a big difference though.

I don't really know what offsets my car needs, but the JZX110 was listed as needing this from the Work website. I'd assume the 100 is the same:

Model Holes and PCD Front Wheel Tyres Rear Wheel Tyres

JZX110 5H-114.3 19×8.0JJ+38 225/35 19×9.0JJ+45 245/35

The fronts wouldn't be deep dish, but the backs would be apparently.

do you think these wheels would fit on an r33 skyline with the 9.5 rears....ive seen them fitted before but not too sure about weather the rear wheel will stick out (hence cant lower the car) as i only saw it in pictures and the car was standard height.
