Hey all,

bit of a tea time topic really and just sheer curiosity on my part.

who knows who makes allows for each manufacturer? I hear BBS make for Volkswagen. And I assume Enkei Make for Mazda but not totally sure. Anyone know?

It's not as simple as that. I believe car Manufactures use different wheel manufactures.

I know VAG have used Ronal, BBS, Speedline in the past for example.

Sometimes the same model of wheel are made and supplied by different manufacturers. The mk4 Golf R32 "Aristo" wheels were made by OZ and by Ronal.
