Anyone have any idea what this wheel is.

I've established it's a Wed's wheel but I can't find what model.

Getting them for my S12, but want to try and find centre caps for them.

Sure are. 

If size matters they are 16x8.5 +35.

Well, the face design is very Weds style, like Weds Kranze, but the spoke style is more BBS.  It's almost like BBS and Weds got together and made a baby.

Styling cues from both of these wheels in the one you're purchasing.

It's funny you say that.  They're on Yahoo Japan, and they have made my Weds but it also has BBS in the title of it.  Maybe they did get together and make a baby.

Or it's a knockoff.

I don't believe it to be a knock-off.  In the first image above you can see a white sticker with red writing on it.  I've only ever seen these stickers on genuine Japanese wheels.  Every knock-off/replica/cheaper wheel I've come across hasn't had them.  (I work in a tyre shop, so I've seen a lot of different wheels.)

But the reality is I don't know until they get here.  If I get them and I don't want them, I shouldn't have a problem reselling them anyway.

Not a bad looking wheel

Some more photos if they help:
First photo you can see the Weds stamp, but nothing else to say which model they are.
