mitchy_ Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 i have a set of Sparco Racing rims.. however i have absolutely no idea what model they are! and i have never seen a set on any website or anything to do with sparco. i'm actually chasing 1 centre cap and nut for them, but i dont think ill ever find one hopefully someone out there knows what they are, who makes them, or maybe even has a nut/cap they would like to sell to me?

mitchy_ Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 this is a (bad) picture of the NS2 python.. see how this has a round cente cap, and the spokes stop before it. whereas with mine, the centre cap has notches in it where the spokes meet and curve? hard to explain!

mad082 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 i call the rim frank. other than that i don't have much else to offer. my mate has 2 sets of the ns2 rims Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/139820-name-this-rim/#findComment-2607356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy_ Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 after having the tyres pulled off the rims today, to go to be powdercoated, i noticed they have "CRIMSON INC." and "ASAHITEC" written on the inside lip. crimson inc. - http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/ - seem to make sparco rims, but i couldn't see mine on there, and i can't read japanese, nor could i email them asahi tec - http://www.asahitec.co.jp/english/ - seem to be involved in making forged aluminium rims, which these are, but i couldn't see sparco rims on there either.

funkymonkey Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 after having the tyres pulled off the rims today, to go to be powdercoated, i noticed they have "CRIMSON INC." and "ASAHITEC" written on the inside lip. They're Racing Sparco's sold by Crimson Inc, manufactured at Asahi Tec's factory. Asahi make a lot of the "made in japan" wheels.

mitchy_ Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 They're Racing Sparco's sold by Crimson Inc, manufactured at Asahi Tec's factory. Asahi make a lot of the "made in japan" wheels. indeed, crimson inc are the sellers on sparco rims, and asahi tec made them due to being forged aluminium. i've emailed both company's with a picture, and asking for details, etc.. but i have a feeling they wont understand english.. and im 99% sure they aren't copies.. i dont think many places make light weight forged aluminium copies of ight weight forged aluminium rims.
