 they are 14"x6j et13 I'm guessing they were meant for a bmw, so possibly bbs mahle replicas? they look similar, but the dish isnt the right shape to be genuine bbs mahles! |

^ the key to winning wheels on ebay is to not bid till the last 10 seconds, that way you don't get in a bidding war and you stand a far better chance of not getting outbid

Well you bought them without knowing what they were.  So I guess you'll find out when you pick them up. There were about 12 companies making basket weave wheels like that. Some Japper, some Euro, some USA. The casting marks will tell the tale..... |

they certainly have a hint of Compomotive about them ... same basic pattern as mine on the Capri trailer ... also have Alley Kat Rallye Specials on the car which have a similiar but chunkier pattern.
