4th Gen - Are these wheels anything special?

[arif_manji]

Hi Guys,

I’m in the middle of restoring JDM 4th Gen and I bought it from a guy who imported years ago. It’s only got 64,000 miles on it and has come with these wheels. I want to know are these anything special? I.e. from Japan or are they Halfords special?

They’re called RAFFLES I think?

if you can take one wheel off and get some clear pics of any markings on the back it may help.
my piaa nakajima alloys had rmp cast into the back of the alloy - could hardly see it and it meant nothing to me at the time but i later learned rmp stood for Rays Master Pieces -just nice little bit of info

Hmm... Interesting.
Can't find anything about them on the internet.
As vanzep says, would be good to check if there are any other markings on the rear of the wheels, or in the centres under the caps.

Nor could I, I find that very odd. I'll take the wheel off next weekend and have a proper look.
