I have these wheels on my squareback, they have no manufacture name/model number that I can find. Does anyone know the name? I'd like to find a 16" pair to run on the front instead of the 17s. Thank you for any help!

They look like Advan F7 replicas

Look like Motegi MR7's but they have a more pronounced dish to the lug nut area.

looks like a TSW EVO. they have the faux unilug, which were usually anodized aluminum in one of a bunch of colors...


These are similar but I don't remember the Evo having the inset race-nut, in it.. I was thinking it was more flat, there.


fwiw. . .

Just pop one of the wheels off and have a look inside.
You may have to clean off all the road grime to find it but you should find some details inside the spokes or the inner rim

I've owned way to many aftermarket rims and they all have had some details like width, offset and date of manufacture inside but usually the company that makes them is there somewhere too.

See what I mean on my Lite-7s

Gets my vote.

Joel,
I've pulled the wheels... there is only markings for the size and off-set. I can't find a manufacture name anywhere! I figured that meant 'knock off' of something else.
