Failing that, a crayon representation will probably do! ;D

I think they are Appliance X-Wire but Alleycat did a similar wheel which were popular in the 70's and 80's but they're pretty thin on the ground now.Best bet is E-bay or searching on various forums you might strike lucky.  |

Alleycats AFAIK don't have that pronounced curvature to the spokes, they were flat-faced, as were the Appliance X-wire.....will have to dig out some old copies of Hot Rod & Custom and have a look at the Deals On Wheels/JBW adverts...any excuse.

Brian They're not UK wheels, so those mags won't help much. Appliance wire mags:  Allycats:  |

I just checked the story,which is about a Ford Galaxy and saw that it is indeed an Australian car so reckon mikelmr and mad were correct with Performance Hotwire because they're Australian wheels.

They are correct, most certainly hotwires...... made by Performance Wheels in Australia, and Cheviot in New Zealand as well. Hotwires also came in a flat faced version with the more tame offsets, as well as the concaved ones seen on that Corty.
