Posted March 21, 200618 yr comment_160292 Alan, (or whomever might know) What are these Japanese wheels? I've seen them pop up several times now on Yahoo Auctions Japan and always with a hefty price tag... What are they? http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b64665954 -e Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/19303-alan-what-are-these-wheels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 21, 200618 yr comment_160294 Eric,They are genuine 'works' Mazda race team wheels, made from magnesium. Mid-Seventies period.I've purchased from this seller before, so I think you can trust him. Katayama RX3 race replica would be fun, wouldn't it?Alan T.

March 21, 200618 yr comment_160327 Hard to tell from the pictures but, are they painted that color? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/19303-alan-what-are-these-wheels/#findComment-160327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 21, 200618 yr comment_160328 Yes Ed, they are painted red. Natural bare cast magnesium colour is dark grey ( and oxidises very easily ). Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/19303-alan-what-are-these-wheels/#findComment-160328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 21, 200618 yr comment_160339 Wow, I would have thought genuine works wheels would be worth more than that.
