Smile Question for all you wheel junkies out there.

A guy bought a set of tyres & wants to know what make the wheels are as the seller didn't know. The wheels and tyres weigh at least half what his current Redlines do & seem very light for alloys. They have no markings inside or out. He doesn't think they are Compomotives or Speedlines.



Any ideas?

Stu you must have a set of these lurking in the loft.

Cheers.

There should be a stamp on the inside of one of the spokes?

Thanks for the replies guys.

Luckily he did buy them just for the 888's not the wheels so is not too bothered by the finish.

I wonder if any marking inside on the spoke etc may have been wiped out by heavy handed prepping & painting if it was a DIY jobby.

Maybe they got carried away while they were doing the chassis numbers & the block & filed them off .

If he only bought them for the tyres does he want to sell the wheels?

I think he does & that's why he wants to know what they are so he can set a fair price. He's mentioned about how light they are to his Redlines which I suppose got him thinking they may be "special".

Oh & here is the rest of the mental paintwork.



There are 4 x 18'' x 7.5j Redlines 5x100 ET45 in Matt Black with red detail lip for sale here for £275 :- 18''Redlines for sale
