They appear to be very close in design to the ADR sterlings I had on my BMW, minus the studs. Overall, good deal and price for the money in my book. Now lets see them installed with the correct stance.

was thinkin the same thing as mattjk.
if you spend enough time in/around wheels, you kinda get a feeling.
BUT then again we could both be wrong.

never seen/heard of this wheel company. they mightve been labeled jdm
on ebay but it doesnt mean they are. does it say made in japan
on the rear? not hating btw

Its more likely to be jdm considering someone in the states HASNT heard of it.... unless you guys are super jdm wheels masters which it seems to be since you can tell how a wheel was built from a bad pic.

That being said the price of them new its around 1200 so probably safe to say they are 1 piece.

I'd take those stockers off your hands if you were local. I like those.

The SC really looks and performs best with staggered wheels though, I don't even look at non staggered anymore.
