the closest wheels i could find to them where kn jupiter wheels so from what i could find you may have come across some customs and if so they may be 1 of a kind... ( that might not be the case but i cant find any info about them lol)

I'm 90% certain a mate of mine had some of those on his 1275GT back in the mid 80s. I'm sure they were K&Ns. He hit a curb whilst cornering at full chat one night and cracked one of them, tried everywhere to get a replacement, but without any luck.

Be good to let us know what they are when you get them

They look like starmags but backwards haha

[OhDear]

In case people did wonder they have arrived home, and they have Starmag written all over them . So pretty, time to get out the polish wheel ...so much fun :|

Those are KN Jupiter II's. I believe they are 12x5.5. Hard to find. My Canadian edition has 10x 5.5 KN Jupiter's that that came standard. Apparently they were only offerd on the 1000 Deluxe as part of the upgrade.

they have starmag written on them o.0 and also a marking or 5x12 do you have a picture of yours?

[TA2DMAC]

Sorry was posting form phone and didnt see the last post. The Kn Jupiter 1's and 2's are a little different. Here's a pick of mine. They have been painted at least 2 times prior to me getting them, but I plan to refurbish them.
Also mine are 10's

Flower wheels? Reminds me of these...



Yes that is an actual alloy wheel with a teddy bear for spokes.

I love ronal teddy bears! Need to be the original ones though not the crappy copies you can by now.

I want a set of these.



Michelin Man Wheels. Not many sets exist and go for stupid money when they do turn up! Not a mini fitment though which is a shame!

^{You sure its the Michelin Man and Not the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man? lol}
