I think FIKSE can put some finish on their wheel that'll come out like that. Sure they're not Fikse's??

Just a thought - they sure look close.

They are defiantly not HRE 540Rs (those are the rims I want lol). The 540Rs are bead lock, those aren’t.

well they look closest to the FIKSE's and if they can put a different finish on them it's most likely them. but i swear the name on the rims were different, i should have written it down when i took the picture. thanks for all the help

Look very close everyone, they are the same as Crazy Hawians!! The spoke pattern is the exact same, the finish is just alittle diff. but that could be the pic.

Just cuz the spoke pattern is the same, doesn't mean they're boyd's. The fiske wheels have that same pattern, and actually look closer to that than the boyds, if i had to make a guess it would be that they are the super-polished fiske wheels. You can almost make out the logo, if you use your imagination. And those wheels have a deeper "dish" around the centercap than the boyds.
