Hello ladies and gentlemen,

I recently bought a MK1 Audi TT and the wheels are in desperate need of refurbing, I like the wheels a lot and want to keep them but the problem is that one of the wheels is so badly damaged that it might possibly need replacing and I cannot find out the maker or name of the wheel, no matter how much I google. Best guess is BBS for the make but I'm not certain. Can anyone on here help?

Thanks in advance.

Is the manufacturer's name or logo with size, ET info etc not stamped somewhere on the inner barrel?

My first thought was that they look like one of the optional wheel designs from an A3 3.2 quattro c.2005?!

cheers

Have you taken one off? They look like reps to me but hard to tell. Are they genuine splits? Also what size are they? Might help narrowing it down, check the size against the pressures on the inside of the drivers door/filler cap and see if they match up.

Btw - I'm not an alloy expert, just saying what id try first

They don't look like the original BBS alloys that could be spec'd with the TT. I'd a 2006 TT with those and they had a larger centre which looked like a large 12 point nut with the Audi logo on it, it covered the wheel nuts.

The spoke design is similar, so maybe another BBS wheel or copies.

Look like bbs speedlines to me, but replicas, itd the additional holes between the studs that makes me think reps

I haven't taken one off yet but the rims are so badly corroded I think i'd struggle to see any markings. They are 19" if that helps and yes they do look very much like the speedlines but with a deeper dish. I'm thinking reps too so looks like i'll struggle to find a replacement!
