Name that wheel!

Puglife · 09-08-09, 09:31 PM

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?

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.
