Anyone know what these wheels are?
Discussion
Saw these in Racing Green, supposed to be correct offset for Tuscan said they wanted 1400 quid for the set!!!!!!
Does anyone know what make they are?
I think the would look quite good on a Cerbera, the nearest wheels I can on the internet are BSA Livewires, but their site gives very little information on sizes and application or construction.

Austec have some similar looking (and variations of) wheels in there office on display. Dont know whether to get new wheels (which I cant afford) or get the spiders refurbed 
I had an indepth chat about such things with the chap from Chipsaway. They will come and look at the Spiders, usually for free, and give you a professional opinion about what they can do to refurb them - depending on what you've done to them that is of course
I seem to recall that they had a standard re-furb price of about £50/wheel, again, variant depending upon the dammage... but either way, it a lot less than £1,400

You'd be better off going for a full wheel refurb at £40-£50 than to have Chipsaway "repair" chips or scuffs on the wheel. A full refurb gives a much better long term result than the Chipsaway bodge job which soon starts to fail.

Should have the SP12's on mine in time for the ring Fubes so you can have a look at them, come in at about £850 per set - not too bad when you get consider you can flog on the Spiders and probably get a fair chunk back which obviously you don't get to do with a refurb (see how I sold getting new wheels to myself). As far as a refurb goes, pxwheels do an exchange set for £170 last time I looked, equivalent of just over £40 per rim. You want to get some dark wheels on yours next time for sure.
I quite like the idea of the diamond cut finish, as its the nearest to the current stripped/polised look Ive got but without the arse ache of having to polish them every 5 minutes. Thing is, I believe the diamond cut finish can only be done the once and are prone to kerbing/chipping.
The pxwheel option is fine if your close to Blackpool or have the abilitly to take the wheels off and have them shipped up to Blackpool for the exchange. I need someone to rock up at my house, take the wheels off, take them away, fix um, and bring them back. Other option was Austec offered me a loan of some RLs and have a refurb place local to them. Just means getting off my harris and getting them done.
Having just spent my holiday fund on the Intrax suspension, Im going to have to put up with grubby wheels till early summer, when I can get myself a budget and send the family to Butlins
