tires and wheels Wedssport, H&B or Riken wheels????

[BL39999]

Some days ago I found a picture of a lovley wheel that will suit my 02 wery well. The only problem is that when posting a question on this forum I did not get any conclusive answer, I try again:

Is there anyone out there that know what make of wheel the one with black center is?

The one with white center is Riken 6 X 15.

What kind of width might they come in??

I'd say it's not a H&B. Spoke profile is too flat. It's hard to tell, but it looks like the center is similar to the white wheel with screw holes for the center cap. I don't think Weds uses screw on caps.

Note the H & B wheel has 16 spokes, the black one in the pic has 20.

The black wheels are SSR(Speed Star Racing). They're made in Japan and are very good quality. The Rikens on the other hand are not so good. They have lots of radial run-out at the rim barrel.

While the H&B wheels are good quality, they used BBS race wheel halves(identified by the rolled outer rim) which are ideal for race tracks but not robust enough to deal with day to day driving. Later H&B wheels used Compomotive rim halves that, while more robust, still had a tendency to crack. I used to hate dismounting early 3 piece wheels. The seals were'nt very good and prone to damage. Also some of the 5 lug H&B had to be taken apart to change the tire. PITA!

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a set of Speed Star Racing wheels?

Preferably 7 or 8" X 15"...

Thanks in advance!!
