Hi all! Does anyone have any info or pix regarding original factory alloy wheel options for the Tristar Syncro? Ta!

Stock wheels and trims:


Carat wheels


Calmaster 'Keyholes' ? alloys the rarest factory option

What size tyres would have been fitted as standard to the Doka with the Carat alloys?

205/70r14.. was std fitment for the "carat" alloys.. 2wd
Prob same for syncro, but may have had 205r14's on them...

I'd love a set of them "keyhole" wheels.. IIRC they were 15"....

I remember now. The 'keyholes' are an ATIWE wheel - 16" I believe as MG had some on his Tristar.

Thanks for the info guys! Ditto on the keyhole wheels! Cool as!

I seem to remember that they were 15" for the "14's" were also available for the 16"... as Tristars never came as a 16" as far as I am aware....

Nah, the Atiwe rims were 7J x 16" and came with 225/55 tires according to the Tristar brochure.

Sure looks nice

Mmmmm.. YUM YUM........

The wheels on the early Tristar (Magna) in the VW Museum are 15"

Yes, the Magma wheels are the 14"x6Jet30 Atiwe 'Kaseloch' (cheese hole) style often found on the Carat

HOLD ON, STOP!!!

Matt are you trying to build an impostor?

If this is the one in the VW museum they are 15" running 225 tyres

That's interesting. the stock Kaseloch is definitely 14".

Perhaps they did specials for prototypes such as the Magma. 15" would certainly look better.
