Can anyone name these wheels? They are TSW but I dont know what style, they seem a bit of a rip off of OZ Superleggra(sp)
Thanks...

They look a bit like Hockenheims

I've had a look through all the discontinued wheels on the main TSW site and can't see them. Possibly an independant design imported by Yokohama UK and then branded as TSW?

Yep I did the same, they are not very old but they are not in their new wheels either.

ETA
You could be right with the Yokohama idea, thats what rubber is on them.

Why not ask in the MX5 forum as well?

Yokohama UK import TSW wheels, just thinking about it they may be an older set from their TSR range

I vaguely remember them from my old max-power reading days, on the back cover IIRC (when this place was all fields).

The name hasnt come back to me yet, but like other have said - TSW... the next size up had a fake 'single bolt' cover in the center.

They are definitely not Hockenheims, they look like this:



(The 14" as Steamer said didn't have the centre cap, but I can't find a pic of it, and it didn't look like this)

They look like TSR Ascaris:




But I can't tell if yours are that convex from the photo.

Hope that helps!

They look similar style to those Ascari, but the spokes are pretty flat but the centre does go in a bit.
Some more pics...

Similar to Speedline GT1s ( although I realize you said TSW )

They look a bit like the old golf gti alloys (bbs Montreal's) could be a replica by tsw ?
