I've been offered a set of alloys by a friend, but what are they?
Having just been offered and received a set of wheels by a friend and fellow young classic owner, I've been trying to dig my head around what these wheels could be.
My only indicator is that it says RW on the dish of the wheel, and behind one spoke says DAX.
A close indicator is that these are a replica or reproduction wheel of a Borbet set.

I don't know the provenance of the wheels I received - I probably won't ever know, since there isn't any information online for them. Some photos exist from other people, but they also don't know what it is either. The wheel specs are 15”, ET25, likely 7J. The lug pattern is a 4x100.
All four wheels need a super good clean, and center caps since I tore off one of the BMW caps by accident. I have in mind some designs that could be done custom, since the cap is a 45mm. These are a universal size that are produced by some resellers.
I have ideas on what I might want to do with these wheels. I had a phase of being obsessed with Euro aftermarket/OEM wheels. Companies like AZEV, Zender and others were something I look up to, even now sometimes, because of my Civic and its European VTi counterparts and how some people modify theirs.

I have the idea of using them on the Civic, but shipping the wheels from Singapore up to Penang is going to be a costly affair. The thought lingers.
Thanks to @ace.lude21 for these alloys, judging by the center cap I could guess where these might have come from 😂
