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.

FINALLY got the answer i wanted and it's 100pcd and he did say before that they were VW so i'm gonna try and get them.

cheers for all the help guys, and i'll let you know if i win them.
