I've got a set of Sun Mistral rims I'm refubishing at the moment. I got them around '91-92 but they had the older logo on them which might suggest they were originally made in the 80's.

Hope this helps?

The Mistrals were out from the mid eighties.. They had a raised inner ring like the Ayaya 7x. Their earlier rims were more like the Ukai box rims...Nice..
