16X7 Riken wheels

[wishihada240z]

I have found a set on the internet. What are these wheels in 16X7 with less than half tread left on the tires worth? The guy is asking $750 plus shipping but that seems a little steep to me. What do you guys think?

Have you looked up the price of what a new set of the same wheels cost?

i have searched everywhere, but have found nowhere where they sell Riken wheels, i believe they were made by enkei and were discontinued many years ago. I could be wrong though, does anyone know of a company that sells Riken wheels???

What on earth are Riken wheels?

Here's a picture of a set on this 240z which i believe is a member on this forum, it seems theyre hard to find, only found them for sale used, so i have a feeling they were made decades ago and have been discontinued for a long time, very beautiful wheels imo

Had those on my 510 although the mesh was gold and they were 13s but they were Rikens. I paid about 300 incl. tax for the four of them new in 1994. Even though your talking about 16s, I think the price is too steep even with the over half worn tires.

yup, those are rikkens alright. I have the black 16's on my '72.

I'm not sure if it's riken or rikken though. If they are no longer avail, the seller may know that and factor that into his price. It seems that alot of folks are looking for that rim these days.

the ones i may be purchasing are the gold mesh with the polished lip, but if i buy them i would either paint or get them anodized black, are your rikens anodized or painted? any pics?

the 750 is very reasonable for rikens in 16 inch , without tires , they were not made by enkei but close to the western wheel mesh design , the enkei 32 series which had a flat iside around the lugs was similar , there are a few styles from the mid 80's to late 90s like that but hard to find , to give you an example the ssr reverse mesh wheel in 16 or 17 which is similar is 585-665 roughly per wheel , another maker was epsilion , very similar in style and made in the 4 on 4.5 in a 16 rim:disappoin

well dare i say i might be wrong , i thought the riken was made by western not enkei
