What are these wheels?

[MicroMachinery]

I want to buy these, but I don't know what they are. The guy said SSR Starsharks, but he doesn't know what he's talking about. Who's seen these before?

Hey man, those wheels look sweet. However, we have an "identify this" thread. Try asking there, this thread will get locked.

Oh ok, my bad. Thanks man.

They look similar to Work Equip 03, spoke count looks different though.

Definitely NOT SSR Star Sharks

drag dr's?

drag dr's?
I think we have a winner.

[MicroMachinery]

No.. I don't think they are Drag DR's or Work Equip 03s.. I'm looking at the bolts that go around the inside lip(there are 8, rather than 16).. not the same. Also, where the lugs go around the center, it's a complete circle.. unlike the Works and Drags..
There are 10 spokes instead of 8. I'm not finding a 10-spoke variation anywhere on google.. the spokes on the Works and Dr's have offset widths, also. Geegh.. what the hell ARE these things!?

Drag DR-20

Look identical.

[MicroMachinery]

Sorry, look again. All the variations I mentioned are noticeable and legitimate. You don't have to look long.. just a few moments.

[NINJASPY]

not the same, 10spoke vs 8spoke, fake multipiece wheels vs 8bolt 2/3 piece?

[skyvia686]

they are work equip 03's just really hard to find because theres so many knockoffs and all the knockoffs are weak offsets.

[Kamburrito]

yeah i was gonna say work equip mesh are a little different and those drag dr20s are just knock off of equips.

its either the name you say above or enkei something also made a jdm knockoff of those back in the day. if they are ssr it will be stamped somewhere on the wheel. if not most likly the enkei versions.

so confusing. It seems every Japanese old school wheel has a similar style made by another Japanese wheel company

yeah its called knock-off every company does it but when its a company thats not mad in japan somehow all of a sudden its not cool to rock knock offs anymore.

look at bee-r, uras ns01, dt05rs, lmgt4, and rota p45rs. only one was the real deal and the rest were knock-offs. because rotas are the only one not made in japan everyone hates on them but, for some reason dto5rs and uras are hailed so highly when sold here. shit for the price ill buy 4 sets of rotas and break that sh!ts all days!!**edit** ive never seen or heard of a rota wheel breaking without running into something with it. and potholes count as hitting it. shoot my gf has had a set of ame's on her car for the past 2 years and in that time span, the lips needed to be repaired on 4 different occasions.

for all the people that hate on knock-offs, probably grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth and dont know the true value of money. if you can get the same thing for half or even a quarter of the price why buy name brand?? support the cause? sh!t those guys aint paying for my tires, track fees, tuning and tickets.

sorry for the rant, just my 2cents to all the knock-off haters out there ive been seeing recently

No silver spoon here. i work hard for my shit...as do most people that CHOOSE to buy quality parts and not knock off shit. I'm not hating on what you buy. It's your car. But lets keep it real, my lmgt4's and your rotas/uras/whatever the hell are NOT the same thing. There's a HUGE difference between a forged monoblock wheel and a cheap cast wheel. Don't kid yourself
