i did, but the guy just said he'd look into it and that was 4 days ago :roll:

i was more asking just on the off chance that someone might know, weren't holding out much hope obviously.

Hi,

I showed the picture to my dad (he owns a tyre & wheel shop), and he said they look like MSW/OZ ceres wheels.

I went looking on the german eBay for a similar set, and I found a set. Judging by the auction, they look like 4x100 PCD.

Here's the link to the auction;

The dishes on them wheels look different to the OZs

They look like Montego/Austin of that era wheels, which means the PCD's right but the centre bore's too small.

the guys being a pain really :roll: he advertised them as vw.....i asked him what pcd they were and he said he'd check 2moro....3 days later i sent him another msg asking again, he replied this evening saying they're 15"x7J.... :evil: soem people are soooo helpful sometimes, so i put a msg back with a link to a page explaining PCD and i asked him to tell me what cars they've been on as he can't seem to manage that.

Silly question, do you know the ET ? might help distiguish them as VW/Vauxhall/old BMW rather than say Ford.

From that single pic and the size, I would say they are MSW Kings in 4x108. But im probably wrong.

they're ET26....that the owner helpfully told me when i asked him the pcd :lol:

these wheels are a bit of an enigma, normally someone has come across a set of wheels at some point.

i'm only gonna bid if they're 100pcd so it would be helpful if the guy gave me a straight answer.
