Despite the chavvy grammar in the Ad, does anyone know what these are? They look kinda special..

Well, they look like 3 piece BBS cross spokes.

Common on e30 BMWs, 80's stuff in general.

Lots of (old) clones around though so may not be real.

BBS RS would have been my guess...but they could be reps as, IIRC, they should have BBS on the centres??

Judging by the lingo in the advert (and no, I don't understand it!!), it's probably a chap who knows they're reps and trying to convince someone they're really BBS...I couldn't confirm either way of course smile

They're used on MX5's a fair bit (and look spanking) so i'd look there.

Wish I:

a) Had 150 quid to spend on wheels.
b) Lived closer to the West Midlands to pick them up.
c) Could stomach fking idiots who type like that.

Look like BBS's. Had them on a MK1 GTI Golf without the painted centres, they do look good Golfs

Look like Alleycats to me, I used similar on my Radical a few years ago when they were standard fitment from the manufacturer.

I thought that, but didn't think ally cat did a split rim.....possibly compomotive split rims...
