Help: Does anyone recognise these alloy wheels?

[Chris71]

As per the title. Does anyone know what these are?

I've just bought a car with them on and its rather over-tyred at present (they're 18") and I can't say I'm a fan of the 'modded' look, so intending to put these on the market and drop back down to the original 15/16s.

Similar?

I'd have thought if they were a good brand the manufacturer would be stamped somewhere like the hub.

Take one off and looking at the marking inside the wheel boss (bit which bolts to the hub). There's usually something in there.

If you don't get satisfaction here then a post on www .wheel-wh or es.com/forum/ might help find them.

Good idea. There's nothing marked on the outside, but I've yet to remove them.

I've found several wheels that look like them, including the Inovit Redline and MSW Type 15 (which are very similar), but no idea.

Thanks for the forum link Munter, I'll give them a go.

ETA Asked this already in the TVR section but, while I'm here, does anyone have any suggestion for a 15" front, 16" rear set for a (very yellow) TVR Chimaera? I'm debating whether to pay through the nose for a set of the (now very rare) silver Estorils that would have originally been fitted or go for something different. I've also got half an eye on things like unsprung weight as I'm a keen driver and occasional track day goer and I'm told the Chim/Griff is very sensitive to unsprung mass?

They look like Fox Racing wheels to me, I recognise the indentation where the square sticker sits at the edge of the spoke.. It's old style not made any more AFAIK.

This is all knowledge from when I worked in the happy world of Halfords years ago so don't know the name of the style but if I spot one on google images I'll let you know.

Cheers. Have since signed up to the wheel forum in an attempt to follow this up.
