I wonder if there an early production run , before simplifying the design ?
Look forward to see what others think .

I don't know what model of rim they are, but they look to be MG Montego wheels with the centre caps missing.

Montego wheels are slightly wider than maestro, the pcd and diameter is right and the spokes look right. My guess is they are an aftermarket version from the same age as the mgs, if compomotive made the mg wheel, and if they did I'm not aware of that. I wonder if they were aftermarket tr7 wheels? |

Oooo. That's interesting as they came off a TR7 but I don't ever remember seeing one with them before.

Not only do I somewhere have a catalogue with the wheels saved in a picture, I also have exactly the same wheels fitted to my Dolomite, plus a slightly damaged spare in the garage. Will attach a pic shortly. I also paid around £50 for the set of 4 and then another £20 for the spare.   |

Cool looking wheel, very reminiscent of an ‘Allycat’
