They look like some Merc alloys I was bidding on on ebay a while back. I think dealer option wheels for Mercs back in the 80's might have been OZ wheels, I have seen many a 190e with bling rollers on with the Merc badge on the cap and the old OZ logo inside the cap, so you could swap them over if you wanted to have OZ on your wheels.

Cut springs.. mmm.. hard.. I should know..

Unless he is running some wheel adaptors I doubt it, BMW PCD is 5X120..
Best bet is Merc latice wheels. Could be dodgy Vauxhall ones he's bigging up as OZ's though, he is running cut springs after all..

Being a bit of an 'alloy pimp' (lol!) i beleive they are called 'alley cats' and were available in many different pcd's,
my bro used to run a set on his modded cortina estate in the early 90's havent seen a set of them in a good time!

They could be MERC or another after-market set that you could buy in the 80's my mate had a set on his turbo beetle bodied bug.
