The Black Arousa Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) My bodyshop found these tucked away in the corner. These poor guys have sniffed a bit too much thinners over the years and can't make out any makers marks etc - Any ideas to make / model?Offset looks Huuuuugggeee. Apparently came off a Mk3 Golf.They need a good blast and re-paint...but we have no idea of their origin.

The Black Arousa Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 ive seen thhem on cars before but have no idea, antares come to mind but as i said not sureI remember seeing these back in the '90s on various VAG and Benz - I've had a good google-trawl but can't find anything.Fake.Not sure yet. The edges don't look smooth enough to be a cast one-piece, but you never know.I'm at the B-shop tomorrow so hope to find out more. I'm sure there are model/size numbers etc that the sprayers have missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Arousa Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 It looks like an Estoril gone a bit wrong.I like em Estoril / OZ Opera / Teledials - All gone more than a bit wrong Ive seen these before but the minds telling me they are cheapo modern ish wheels.Hopefully its just to many impacts to the head and im wrong.I don't think you're wrong...but they're freebies and can't argue with that.Can't decide if they'll look okay on, certainly different, guess it all depends on condition and whether they'll blast-up okay ready to take some deep paint.

leweylupo Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 My bodyshop found these tucked away in the corner.

Apparently came off a Mk3 Golf.They need a good blast and re-paint...but we have no idea of their origin.Look like Allessio they were an italian wheel Co around back in the early/mid 90's had a few sets in stock like this when i worked for a VW specialist back then always looked very smart on Corrado's s/b silver paint in middle polished lip like RH cups they are a split rim look alloy, no pics on google iamges they were a rare wheel as allessio were very expensive in their day.Hope that helps although they are similar in design to another style that I think Mim made at around the same time, my money is on allessio though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
