Any ideas what wheels these are?

Post by Hughesy1982 »

Can someone help me out and save my sanity! I found a picture of a van with these wheels on, I really like them but have no idea what they are. I know I have seen them before but no idea who made them. Trying to find an alloy wheel which you don't know that name or manufacturer of is a nightmare. Does anyone have a inkling?

Looks like the ones to me! Although I thought they were a Porsche wheel or very similar to one if not.

The OPs and the pic below it have the same initials on the centre cap.

yes I realise that they weren't the same, I was suggesting that maybe Hughesy had seen D90's in the past and thats what he thought they looked similar to?

Found the ones I was thinking of they are called Porsche Veloce RS! They came on the 911's. Took a lot of pain staking searching but finally found them. Thanks CJH for pointing me in the right direction. Now to see if they will fit :run

The ones in your first picture are not the same as your last picture.

No I know they are the same as the ones in CJH's photo after. I knew they were very much like a Porsche wheel which I had seen before but I wasn't sure if these were the ones or a copy. After finding out the name of the RH Alaud ones in my original pic I tracked down the orginals to the veloce RS 911 wheels.
