    What wheels are these?

    I've seen them before, a few times, but the manufacturer and model always slips my mind when I try to recall.

    I believe this was before Steve upgraded to Watanabe wheels, I guessing these were basic konig, XXR, or the like in 15x8

    So the question now is, what wheel did Rota copy for their "K7".

    I used to know the Japanese brand, pretty sure it was Japanese... Off to Google I go.
