Can you identify my Alloys?

[rattrap]

Hi, Is anybody familiar with these alloys? I have just bought an MX5 eunos with these on, but the centre caps are missing as you can see in the pic. The centre of the alloy wheel is threaded. There was a sticker on the back of the wheel, but it was all in Japanese I hope someone can help, many thanks, Rob.

schmidt moderlines, or compo modulars

Hi , I have just looked on compomotive's website, and they are very similar. I'll ring them, or send the image to see if they can supply the centre caps. Many thanks for your help, cheers, Rob

I emailed Compomotive, and sent them an image. They confirmed that they were not their's, but suggested that they may be Speedline.

Could you take a close up picture of the center please??

Thanks

Thom

Ok, will do, just waiting for my wife to get back in it

Hi Thom,

3 pics of the centres, I really hope you can identify them.

Cheers mate,

Rob

They dont look deep enough to be compo's or schmidt's. and they cant be either of them for one main reason.

Compo's and schmidts use a locking pin to secure the centers, your a screw on centers.

Also due to the look of them i would hazard a guess that the bolts are not covered by the centercap, just the center bore. In which case you could get the compomotive center covers that are on ebay, they come in either silver or anodosed blue.

I'll keep on looking,

Sorry i cant be of more help

Try dropping borbet or ATS they are the only other manufacturers who produce wheels like this that i can think of. Those wheels may be an older style.

Ok Thom, Many thanks for your efforts. I think it's going to be a case of put up without the centre caps, its a shame really cause I think they are good looking alloys, and go well with the eunos.

Cheers,

Rob.

Take one off and look at the back of the spokes , you might have the manufactures name there somewhere

Hi , already done that, could not see anything. Found a sticker on one of them, but all in Japanese.
Cheers.

take a pic of the japanese my mate can translate

I think I have thrown the sticker in the bin, so tomorrow I will either tip the bin upside down, or see if I can find another sticker on one of the other wheels. Cheers, Rob.

They look a bit like Mazdaspeed wheels to me though I don't remember seeing them split-rim-style with allen-bolts before.

Did you nick them from a Ferrari F40?

Hi..

Post them up on 'Wheel-wes'.. They have a big addiction to wheels and would probably be able to give you an answer within an hour.

They do look like F40 wheels, pity I don't own the rest of the car!
