Who made these wheels?

Postby jclay (RIP 2018) » 01 Dec 2011 21:29

I would like to know who makes(ed) these wheels, what sizes they come in and do they fit our bolt pattern.

Actually, looking at the two together, there is less "spoke" on the Ferrari7 ones.

Think he meant there is less spoke material on the 5 spokes.
I think these were 3 piece and talked about a few years ago.
Pretty anyway

It also looks like the ones on the red car are fairly large size, 16" or 17" maybe? That could affect how much "non-spoke" space there is.

Woody carries a similar style:

Compomotive also do (did?) them as non-split rims, like mine (FH style IIRC):

IIRC, the five spoke alloy like these were first seen on 1970's Ferraris.

Sorry to be bumping an old thread but I've searched and can't find what I'm after.

There was someone on the forum looking for or asking about Compomotive ms wheels like pictures above.

If anyone is interested there is a set forsale on another forum that I use.

They are tr7 pcd and offset, split a pair of 13x6 and 13x7.

Thought they might suit someone on here.
