im just curious as to what company makes this rim.
it says "BR Sports" looked it up with google to no sucess.
couldnt find a company under the name of BR. closet was black racing but this seems like a old school rim. i just want to know the history

black racing has been around for a while, so they've made oldschool stuff (as far as i know), but you're right, i dont think they make that

could be Black Racing. my steering wheel is marked BR Sports/Black Racing on the horn button. and I've seen wheels marked BR Sports and labeled Black Racing, tho they looked like Watanabe RS-8's.

I've seen BRS Poisons which are 5 spoke. I'm not sure what the BRS means,

Black Racing actually made copies of a lot of peoples wheels in fact they are pretty much considered a Japanese lower line wheel brand. I.E. Yes Black Racing made Watanabe RS8 look a likes. I would say you have a set of Black Racing wheels there. If they were Racing Beat they would say Racing Beat on them all Racing Beat wheels do. Not BR sports like those say.
When going for RS8 Watanabes you see Black Racing and you see Panasports( yes Panasport had a model that was identical to the RS8 and was available here in the states) all three brands are identical looking and actually came out of the same factory in Japan . Japanese Wheel Corporation! The main differences is real Wats will have the Watanabe insignia on them . Black Racing will be stamped BR. Panasports quite often won't have the Panasport name on them but will be identical and be unbranded.
