What are these wheels and are they worth anything?

There you go

I have no idea so for the value, although I do know what they aren't OEM.

Ooo, the tread messed up a bit! Did you delete the previous posts? Anyway, this is a really easy to use hosing site http://www.picoodle.com/

they look like a watanabe style wheel in stock offset, they are only worth what someone will pay for them. Look through some of the old for sale threads searching for watanabe wheels and you'll see what they usually go for.

Looks like watanabe replica Ben, I had a set of these back in the days of the starlet, true watanabe have this distinctive logo around the wheel nut area, I might have a photo somewhere....

still nice and light though, just not the watanabe tag.

Looks like mine and the logo on mine is JML I think. It stands for Japanese light wheel. :roll:

i think you'll find that it's JWL. it means that the wheel has passed a series of tests to render it legal for use on jap roads.

Not mine mate, the tread buggered up

I don't mind the design, you could paint them black and they would look pretty good!

i have a set like that too. got them for $200 on ebay. i beleive mine are made by bridgestone in japan?? they are nice and light and seem well made. mine are black but the paint is very faded so i will repaint them before i put them on the car. you should be able to find a centre cap to cover that big nut in the middle. i reckon you should visit your local mag wheel shop i reckon they'd be able to help you out.
