AME, Shallen, Smack, Sein, Circlar, Steiner and Lowenhart are all one Nagoya company. KYOHO also wholesales dozens of other makers brands – and telling the two apart matters more than it sounds.
Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5 Wheel Fitment Guide: 5×120, Not 5×114.3, and a 20×8.5 That Became a 19×9.5
The FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R are 5×120 on a 64 mm bore at +60. The FK8 is 20×8.5J and the FL5 is 19×9.5J, so older 5×114.3 Type R wheels do not carry over.
Toyota Ipsum, Gaia and Nadia Wheel Fitment Guide: One Chassis Code, Two Answers on the Bore
Chassis GF-SXM10G reports its hub bore as unresearched on the Ipsum page and as 60 mm on the Gaia page – same vehicle, same production window. The lesson generalises: if your page is blank, check its badge twin.
Mitsubishi Airtrek and Outlander Wheel Fitment Guide: The Turbo R Gets No Special Wheel
Every Airtrek grade including the 4G63T Turbo R runs 6Jx16 at +46. The Outlander keeps 5×114.3 but drops to +38 – and unlike the Airtrek, its 67 mm bore is actually published.
Toyota Sprinter Marino and Corolla Ceres Wheel Fitment Guide: Both Twins Actually Documented
4×100 on a published 54 mm bore, with the Marino and Ceres pages agreeing completely – which has not been the pattern for badge twins in this series. And there is no factory 4A-GE 20-valve grade.
Mazda Sentia and Efini MS-9 Wheel Fitment Guide: Same Car, Two Showrooms, One Hub

Honda S660 (JW5) Wheel Fitment Guide: 15x5J +45 Front, 16×6.5J +50 Rear, and the Wheels Do Not Swap
The S660 is 4×100 on a 56 mm bore, but the front is 15x5J +45 and the rear is 16×6.5J +50. A set of four matching wheels is wrong for this car.
Mazda Lantis and Eunos 500 Wheel Fitment Guide: The Engine Decides the Bolt Circle
Four-cylinder Lantis grades are 4×100 and V6 grades including the Type R are 5×114.3, sold side by side for four years in the same bodies. The shortcut: 14-inch means four-lug, 16-inch means five.
Toyota Crown Wheel Fitment Guide (S130 / S140): The Body Decides the Offset
5×114.3 on a 60 mm bore throughout, but Sedan grades sit at +27 and Hardtop and Royal Saloon grades at +50 – twenty-three millimetres apart, with nothing about the fitting to warn you.
Desmond RegaMaster: The Revival Is Real, and They Will Tell You Who Forges It
