Banpei's two door panda Trueno from Japan

[banpei]

Today, on 86-day, the second set arrived!


The rims inside this box measure 180mm between the two rims (and about 200mm from the outside), so they are 7 inches wide. I also measured the backspacing, which was about 97mm. I would say the offset is about 0 in this case (or -3 as Koen's SSR Formula Mesh), which also makes it a type A. This would push them out about 31mm compared to my current wheels (6.5 +25), which is exactly what I measured last year as the ideal wheel at the front.

It's also clear these wheels have predominantly been used at the front by the previous owner: they have a couple of small kerbing marks, and a thicker layer of brake dust has caked on the inner barrel. The lips and centre seem to be in better condition than the ones on the 7.5-inch-wide wheels and the wheels appear to be straight. They are a bargain for what I paid for them, but the amount of elbow grease necessary to make them look great is still a lot. Captain hindsight says I probably should have skipped them.
