Help me figure out what Alloys I'm thinking of?

ShayK1

Hey guys,

I've seen wheels that I like on random cars driving by around but I've no idea who makes them so I can't find them online.

They're 5 spoke wheels, fairly wide spoke but the spokes slope way back into the rim. They don't go out to the edge.

If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about I'd love to hear from ya.

Cheers.

If I find pics of anything similar I'll post them up.

how far back into the rim do the spokes go?? any logo's on the mite help a bit

ShayK1

they go back pretty far.. I haven't seen them close enough to get a logo. I'd say the spokes could be at a 45 degree angle but the center of the wheel (were the studs go in) would be flush with the edge of the rim.

ShayK1

these aren't a million miles away but the spoke goes ALOT further back into the wheel



nearly like the reverse of these

Circlar wheels? iv got a set on my celica

ShayK1

no. Fatter spokes and they're way further back than those.
Nice wheels though

You see the way your wheels have curved spokes? well the ones I'm thinking of go straight back at a slant. They're not really curved at all.

Its so frustrating trying to figure out what they are!!

stecleary

ok iknow the ones your talking about almost like a dished steering wheel but wit 5 spokes rather than 3!

No. If the spokes sloped back instead of forward on those we'd be close.

I have a Passat. Those ones aren't right either. BUT lads I REALLY appreciate the posts. I hope I'm not annoying ye here.

If I can find them online then I can find out if they'll fit/suit the passat.

Sorry!!! I've seen them on a few cars from astras to celicas but I guess I'm just gonna have to wait to see them again and get a make off them.

I'm annoying myself too man but f*ck it!! I really like them. I really appreciate the efforts though.

Next time you see them, if the car is stopped, why not leave your name and number under the wiper???
