here goes,
can anyone please tell me the brand of the wheel below?
i genuinely want to know as i have bought these wheels and unfortunately they only came with 3 centre caps. they do look ok without but i'm trying to locate a fourth cap if i ever fancy a change. i have already tried german ebay without any luck.
more details on the wheel:-
there are the words GERMANY cast in between the spokes on the front and 17x7.5JJ also cast in between the spokes on the front.
stamped by hand on rear are 120 13 76
i know what all this means but cannot find a brand name, i assume for copyright reasons although they seam to be a good copy, no heavier than original and nice machining on the front
i've started to clean them up already, pitch black on the back when i bought them
this is after the first round of cleaning so i'm confident that all the brake dust can be removed. altough i have a feeling the fronts will be a lot harder to clean and polish and will probably result in a lot of skin from my fingers being removed
the car as it stands before the wheels are fitted. they are going on with 8mm spacers so will be ET5 when finished, i'm hoping it will give the look i am after.
no takers?
are any of our German cousins on this forum that might know?
nobody has an idea, i'm stumped too, maybe the wheel faries made them?
anyway two are on the car now, i'm waiting to get tyres fitted for the other two next week,
tried them on the front with et5 with about 2 degs camber and they work great!
tried them on the back et5 with max camber and ONE rubs, the other is close,
i'm considering getting the fenders pulled, does anyone know what is involved, i've never done it before. i realise this is probably the wrong forum and will search and also post elsewhere,
i'm considering rolling back and forward with the breaker bar between fender and tyre, does this pull the fender or just roll the edge?
any help would be brilliant as i'm really not far off and itching to run them on the car,
a few photos below to explain things and so you can see how they look,
thanks in advance,
done a bit more research and decided to go with the paper pull,
for anyone actually reading this, wish me luck!

I'm confused.... Who has the rims? Dickie G or Richard.... And who ever's green E36 in the OP, loose either the Ambers or the yellow.. Way to much going on up front.
So it's your car? You have 2 different screen names?Originally Posted by dickie g
