Panasport G7
Although I much prefer the curvy R32 GT-R styled version. Does anyone know the difference? Is there a different model designator at the end of each name?

Is this a game or strictly informational?

More 5 spokes anyway :P

It would be good to make this informational, if we make it a game we will get the jokers/trolls on here posting pics of panda wheels.:fp:

Or if folks just want to post rare wheeels the most have never seen that would help identify wheels that would be great too!

Has anyone seen these? They look like Panasports but the center is really throwing me off.

I would say Minilite, but I haven't seen anything with that many spokes! I'll try to find out

edit: found some 10 spokes fairly quick, but design features don't seem quite right, in addition to these being 5 lug
" The 10-spoke Saab Ronal ''Shelby'' Minilites are from a small run produced in the late 1990s."

edit 2: I would say Minilite and I'm sticking to it. If I could see the outer lip around the hub (center) of the wheel, but the original picture is blown out a bit so it's hard to tell if it's there or not. The lip I'm talking about can be seen very clearly on the SAAB in the picture above. Anyway, here's my evidence:


Minilite Rally 10-spoke aluminum 15" wheels.

Thanks Man! I am not too sure how good these would look on an NB. I always loved the style of them though.
