Agree it looks aftermarket, but the cast in serial numbers on the rim look a bit reminiscent of the ATS made alloys fitted to 1980's Vauhall - Opel products.

Cannot think of a car that came standard on Wolfrace Slotmag style wheels...

Isn't it a wolf race slot mag? An aftermarket wheel back in the day.

I had a 10inch set on my first mini.

(These pictured look bigger though)

12" That helps narrow it down, 4 stud 12" wheel, can you measure the PCD please and give a us a guess at the offset, deep or shallow. If we can identify the PCD it will narrow it down quite a lot. Offset should help identify is FWD or RWD.

Pretty sure it's a Wolfrace. Found this on eBay and it looks very similar - casting nos/letters on opposite sides of the rim and what's looks to be a slightly raised hub area. This one's 13" with 100 pcd (which I assume is mm). Vauxhall and BMW fitment.
