moodah Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hey guys, Wondering if anyone here knows what these wheels are called or know of something similar? I've been hunting around for them for a while and am getting desperate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 They look a lot like Epsilon modular wheels from the '70's and '80s. Perhaps someone else has another idea as well. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudeboy Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 My first thought was Epsilon also, possibly Enkie 92? or for a short time there was a wheel called Riken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 My first thought was Epsilon also, possibly Enkie 92? or for a short time there was a wheel called Riken. Definitely Not Enkei 92s as I have owned several sets of 92s. Possibly Epsilon as was stated by Davy but they could also be Compomotive CXNs from England, which I would be a decent dollar.

oatmilk Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Very popular 80's rim. You can tell by the center cap with a large "E" on it in the picture. Some Epsilons also had Epsilon written on the center cap. Also went by the name "Southern Way's" in Japan I believe. Keep an eye out for them on Ebay every now and then. Most popular sizes came 15's and 16's. True three piece rims that are very light. Also came in a cool centerlock mesh style, a 5 spoke model kind of like Gotti's that usually were seen on Vette's and one other rare(because it wasn't very popular) flat face model.

DemonZ Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Those are definitely Epsilon's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned Riken wheels on a 200SX I once owned---I think the ones in the photo are really Epsilon wheels--much nicer BTW, than Riken wheels.

moodah Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 HOT! Ive just finished fitting the bodykit to my Z.. (its taken me like 6 months with bits of spare time). It looks strange with the stock wheels so far in. I wanted to find something similar to these in a 17x 7 - for 225/45/17. (yeah.. probably not possible, but trying anyway - i have a specific way I want my Z to look!) I've been looking through alot of sites for wheels and i just cant find anything similar at all.

capt_furious Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 How about these? They're one-piece and don't have bolts, but they're pretty desirable and somewhat rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BillGalbraith Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sorry if these seems like spam, but I've been looking for cetner caps for my Epsilons since 1990, without luck. I am in the process of having some new center caps machined for my Epsilon wheels. If you are interested, you can see the prototype at www.holycows.net/EpsilonCaps.html. Drop me a line at billg@holycows.net if you are interested. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badzx Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I like those caps...how much? I'm also looking for a set of 15X8 or 16X8 Epsilons,,,5 lug for a 300ZX,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BillGalbraith Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I like those caps...how much? I'm also looking for a set of 15X8 or 16X8 Epsilons,,,5 lug for a 300ZX,,, The center caps are machined from billet aluminum (Alloy 6061-t6). 2 set screws, 10-24x3/16" retain the cap securely from vibration and theft. The cap is beadblasted with 120 mesh at 40 psi. The cap may be powdercoated, anodized, or painted via conventional means, or may be polished. You have to remove the wheels to install these caps, as they are held in place by 2 set screws. You get four (4) aluminum caps and the Allen wrench to install these caps. The caps measure 2.34 inches in diameter where they insert into the wheel. The indentation on the front measures 1.58 inches. I found a symbol for my caps, built a Word document, and had some custom stickers printed for my wheels at Kinko's for $1.49. I want $150 for a set of 4 caps, at least until I see what they will bring on EBay, so the $150 offer is good only until the first auction is expired, which is Saturday July 19th. I have no idea how high the auction will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
