Was browsing the internet today and came across an interesting picture of a wheel and was wondering if anyone had any clue what they are.

The wheels have french writing on them that says "Victory at 24 hours Le Mans" with a 29 on the end.

Been trying to find information on these for hours but just can't find anything and i really wanna know why random wheels have this on them haha

If anyone has an idea let me know internet bragging rights in it for you

Tried using Tineye to do a reverse google images search (image to link). It can't even find where you found the image! Was worth a shot I guess.

Good luck.

maybe renualt
the French writing leads me to think Renault 5
renault won lemans in 1978 so maybe some limietd edition renault 5 turbo???

Re-cycled flywheel perhaps?

I think I've seen them on hondas. The writing should start with the 29, ie 29e victoire aux 24 heures du mans.

As it tuns out honda won the 29th Le Mans for bikes in 2006 (29eme is french for 29th)

that wheel looks a little old to be 2006?

It does. Looks more like mid to late 80s.

Still pretty sure I've seen them on an import car, because it struck me as incongruous to have French writing on a Japanese car.

Found what they are apparently, they are a set of old school dunlop rally rims apparently http://kyushashoes.com/ (8 row down far right) and no much info can be found on those rims at all anywhere.

Gonna be honest found them on tardme and was trying to figure what they were before i brought them haha. I now however own them and will go further into finding what they are. First step is to contact Dunlap and see if they can provide me some more information and if they are actually dunlop rims XD

Best chance will be to look on the back of them when they arrive, most wheel manufacturers put details about their wheels there.

I was cleaning out my garage over the weekend and found a japanese performance parts catalog from 1984. There were wheels from Dunlop that were very similar to your set...

Can you identify these weird wheels!!!
