Can Anyone Identify This Wheel?

[Brigand]

Chaps,

I've had my E38 750iL Panzer a few months now, but I'm struggling to find out what wheels it has. Can anyone identify these? I presume they are aftermarket wheels as I've Googled BMW wheels of that vintage and nothing familiar crops up.



They aren't the best wheels, but they are made worse by having no centre caps, so I'm hoping to track some down if anyone can tell me what name they are.

Any information is greatly appreciated!

Rays,could be wrong.

A very old(and small) set of Azev's, sans centre caps?!?

That was my first thought.

Obvious answer.

Have you taken one off the car and looked on the inside for any information stamped on it ?

Not yet, but there are no markings visible from what I can see. I'll be changing a wheel bearing shortly so if I'm still none the wiser by that point I'll have a good look on the other side of the wheel.

Thanks for the ideas so far, I shall give them a Google and see if it sheds any light on the matter.

They look similar to the Azev A, I'm guessing they are replicas as there is something not right

[Brigand]

The Azev wheel looks like a good lead, as I've found quite a few that have the right spoke design, but all the Azev ones seem to have a lip on the inside of the wheel with the name stamped on (as below).



Mine don't have that lip though, so perhaps they are knock-offs of that design or something different all together. I'd be tempted to just buy the Azev centre caps just to fill the gaps but at £100+ per set I think I'll pass!

Brock B1 maybe

Ooh, now this is getting closer! Pictures show the same design minus the lip that the Azev's had. We may have a winner here, or at least very close to one!




This Brock B1 looks pretty much identical

Not the same wheel. Look at the lack of curve around the spokes where they meet the hub on yours and now compare them to the Brocks. The Brocks look to have a significant "dish" or offset to them whereas yours do not.
