Name that wheel!
 

Ok, can anybody name this wheel? I dont know what its from or offset but I measured the PCD as 4x108..... the centre bore is 78mm and they look ginetta like to me (I was told a while back they possibly were ginetta something).

Its a 14x6 (tyres are 195/70/14 Radial)

Looks like one from a BMW..

It was your rally rep that made me look more closely at these wheels derek.... I'm going to get tyres removed and do some proper measurements i think.
Were early BMWs 4x108?

Hmmm looks like a bbs?

Pass on that one not sure. But if the Et is not quite right fit some spacers..

Was thinking BMW, similar fitted to the early 323i.

early BMW's were 4 x 100

could be Ginetta as they were based on Ford (Cortina??) running gear IIRC and they were 4 x 108.

Ok not one of those then!!

I'm going to get tyre taken off tomorrow and then measure the PCD and offset properly. The centre bore can be sorted with spigot rings, and if offset is too much i could get spacers but was looking at them as a cheap spare set as they look quite retro :)

I cant find much ginetta information, proably because they are a throw together of ford bits.

it looks like a compomotive to me;)

what about an early Lotus Esprit front wheel?:idea:

Definately not compomotive and not off a lotus espirt....
They look like a 4stud non split rim version of the porsche BBS wheels on early race cars.

George???

Derek??

Vernon??

Theres always one coxy and its you lol!

Right some scary numbers for you all....

Wheel size = 14 x 7J
PCD = 4 x 108
Centre Spigot diameter = 78mm
Bolt hole diameter = 17mm
Rim width = 200mm
Offset = +6mm

Wheel has "MADE IN AUSTRIA" stamped on the inner face and 14 x 7J but no manufacturer markings.

that's one big ass centre bore.

Noting comes on my list as being that wide.

Fords are normally 63.4 centre bore, and Peugeot/early Saab/Shitroen are 65.1 and those are the popular non Audi 4 x 108 cars.

ya, that was kinda a sensible post really!!!

hhmm, another thought early Porsche 924 were 14" and 4 x 108, so could be BBS rims for an early 924.

anyway, that's me done for today on the wheel side of things, I got work to do!

Looks like an old Compomotive to me :rolleyes:

Compomotive wouldn't have Austria on the back though. The factory is just down the road from my house!

Used to see these in Custom Car magazine all the time as a kid.

They were immitation BBS alloys,Alleycats they are Mr Conniford!You win tonight's star prize!

Certain folk,ahem,used to put them on jacked up Mk3 Cortinas and such.Oh,and Anglias too (I soooo love them!).

Of this,Iam 100% sure folks.
