need help identifying these wheels

antiks · 09-14-2010, 12:29 PM

they were passed off as "HRE" but of course they're not, I'm wondering if anyone knows what they are? 10 mesh 3 piece wheels but i have no clue to what brand; could be a private label, bought them for cheap and was going to refinish the wheel, but it'd help to know what they are.. thanks!

they have a pretty flat face w/ no recessed like most other wheels.

Gavin@MMW · 09-14-2010, 12:31 PM

Flip it around and look at the stamping on the back

antiks · 09-14-2010, 12:39 PM

that's the thing, no stamping, the only markings are "HPB" on the fasteners

Gavin@MMW · 09-14-2010, 01:16 PM

There are no stamps?

all wheels have something...

Is it a 1 piece or a 3 piece?

antiks · 09-14-2010, 01:21 PM

it's a three piece

Gavin@MMW · 09-14-2010, 01:45 PM

It kind of looks like the Work Vs/xx, but it would say Work on it somewhere

antiks · 09-14-2010, 01:56 PM

i'm thinking it's a private label type wheel; the work ones bow outwards, these are pretty flat faced w/ no "cup" or recessed area for the lugs like most of them..

Misturrtinnie · 09-14-2010, 02:09 PM

These arent VS-XX the lug area is more indented if they were VS-XX and they dont have the small holes also.

They still look pretty good. What are you gonna refinish them to?

Gavin@MMW · 09-14-2010, 03:08 PM

I said "kind of" lol meaning close but not exact

antiks · 09-14-2010, 03:08 PM

don't know yet..black probably ... and then i'll get new wheels in like 2 months..lol

antiks · 09-16-2010, 01:37 PM

boy they look similar to these..took my iforged centercap off my essen, and these sit just as flush in them and the inner barrels are identical...what do you guys think?

M II · 09-16-2010, 01:51 PM

They look like the iForged Senekas to me in full polished finish. They're 3-piece Modular Forged Wheels.

I think you are right they sure look identical

Yes I know, and when the time comes I shall call on you

Not sure about that, where is the valve stem located?

mikegronholz · 09-18-2010, 11:55 PM

iforged are marked ... they have some code on them. depending on age, it might say "intro" ... then the whole licensing thing went down ...

based on the bolt design, i would say older iforged though.
