Hoshino Impul D-01 5H
The original product of Hoshino Impul Co. Ltd. was the D-01 wheel, representing an original design at the time, and one that would be copied and re-branded by many in the future. The original D-01 features a simpler look than the later D-01 Silhouette and D-01 G5 with only a single wheel assembly bolt in between wheel centre cutouts. Original centre caps featured a silver/grey star, rather than the red of later models and years. Production of the D-01 overlapped with the D-01 continuing until at least 1982.
Five hole models came in fourteen inch diameters only, but widths up to 10J were available, and that probably represents a reason why the wheels are still so sought after, even today. The original model in 5H PCD however, is certainly the rarest of the Hoshino branded D-01 wheels and an extremely rare find today.
