what about an early Lotus Esprit front wheel?

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.

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

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