ID this wheel.

these are my friends wheels and i was told these are old school Work DH wheels. it does have a work stamp on the back and says made in japan. does anyone know if work DH ever came with this center cap? or if there is a first generation version or anything? Thanks in advance!

i did some google and say some dazz wheels with the same logo "D" so does dazz make work wheels or does this wheel just have a dazz center cap. any other info would be really helpful. like knockoff? quality?

dazz doesn't make work. it's just a similar style. as far as i know dazz doesn't make any wheels so they are most likely imported and badged for dazz. they distribute lowenhart, maya, racing hart and had a few more lines in the past that i cannot recall.

you can't really call it a knockoff since that's a very popular style. i would call it a generic rebadge, but even then i'm guessing.

^^^+1

a lot of wheels were made by others and sold as dazz. exactly like blkonblk said. most likely they were made by work and sold in the us as dazz.

form what i was told a long time ago by rex nguyen when he was at spreewell, dazz only re sold quality wheels. a lot of times you can get the same wheel as work but badged as dazz for a lot cheaper, but you couldnt get custom sizes. kind of like dazz resold but they got a quantity discount.

the rebadge would just mean that they (dazz) had an agreement with work to build wheels with the dazz branding at some point.

i missed the part with the stamp the first time around, but i never new dazz to deal with work. probably fairly oldschool (90's?).

after comparing pics, and taking the stamping into account i would say they are. pierce bolt and centercap bolt patterns look exactly the same.

i would call them dazz wheels (work rebadge), especially if you intend on selling them.
