So I'm picking up these wheels today and wanted to know if any of you guys have seen them before or have any info. The only information I have is they're made in Japan, they're Stamped "Super Light" and that they're 4x100 14x6 +30, any additional info is greatly apprectiated.

complete guess here, but maybe Hayashi/HRE's?

Wish they were HRE's, but I don't think they are since these are one piece wheels.

As the casting implies, they are Super Light wheels and were imported from Japan. Epsilon Wheels distributed them in the mid-late 80's in the USA. It's a great quality wheel. They made them hub-centric for BMW, Honda and VW. They are a 2 piece wheel but, welded together. At ET30, chances are they are a 57.1 center bore for BMW/VW.

I think they may be called super lights as opposed to them being "super light". Found this on the intrawebs. VW vortex, i must say polished lip and gold meshees look nice.

You guys never disappoint thank you for your great input. they sure look nice and yes it is a two piece welded wheel, I will definetly update this thread with pics when they're on the car (if it ever gets finished).

Two of the tires are less than a month old and two need to be changed, I believe they have Falken Zeix 195x60x14, as of now I haven't seen the wheels in person as they were in OC and my father works there so I had him pick them up (he said they looked really good just needed some cleaning), I'll snap some more pics over the weekend when they're in my possesion.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
