It looks to be just a generic 'tuner' wheel for the honda crowd.

I think you'll find that it's EXACTLY like the exel tz-10 right down to the detailing of the centercap chrome surround with the tiny bolts. The only thing different is the actual centercap itself which appears to have a large "P" on it (probably says something about performance).

It's not uncommon among this type of wheel for multiple companies to re-badge the wheel as their own, so that may explain the logo difference. The only difference that I notice is that those feature a single lug pattern while the exels seem to have a multi-lug fitment.

Rally, thanks for the detailed response. I thought they were Exel as well but I also noticed the bolt pattern difference. Further investigation needed!!

It may take FOREVER , but I do believe the owner of the car posted the name in the 'show me your wheels' thread. I could be wrong though.....so it might be a wild goose chase

EDIT: nevermind, just checked and he didn't mention what they were. You might want to PM ryephile since it looks like he helped find the wheels. MY guess is that since Ryephile helped, they probably are exels because that's what he used to run too.

I think that Rally has it nailed, but in case you cannot find out exactly what it is and Ryan(Ryephile) does not remember, it could also be an old school Team Dynamics wheel...I cannot remember if they made one that style, but the way the center area and the lip looks...its kind like their"signiture"- not meaning that they are speacial, just looks like their "fingeprints"...hope you get what I mean

Thanks! I PM'd Ryephile. He was running Exel TZ10's on his car as well. Looks like I'll be giving Wheel Max a call. But those OZ Superturismos are looking pretty good as well!!!
