I want to say Impul Silhouette, but the cutout areas are bigger and not stepped in at the lip.  Possibly a model of Carlsson? |

Hmm, 'spokes' between the cutouts look thicker on the M3, and the cutouts themselves look more rectangular, whereas the Comps have a square cutout. Also, I don't think the Comps ever had a centrecap. |

10 points Wheelfindor Mr. EmDee!  Thanks a lot!! I think they might suit the 300CE as well  Btw. Impul Silhouettes are what I had in mind but couldn't remember. |

According to the owner's comments on his Instagram gallery (@slowprogress), they are Bridgestone DTMs:  The Racing Hart Superlative D-Spec are an almost identical copy of the (rarer) Bridgestones:  They also came with an alternative centre cap design with a fake centrelock nut:  ESM in the USA are currently producing a very similar copy, the ESM001:  However, all of these designs (including the Compomotive TH) are copies of the original OZ Racing Magnesium wheels used on many touring and rally cars in the late 80s-early 90s:    |

You have received my first "like" on RR ;D Thanks!! ESM wheels look promising. 5x112, 8x16, ET35 - that's literally perfect!! |

That works altogether too well. Not tempted to give them a hint of gold/brown to match the rest of the barge?

I thought about that, actually. When I painted the current wheels, I was close to painting them Mercedes 'smoke silver' which is a silver with a slight hint of gold. Like a 'smoked' silver, as the name suggest  Hmmm. Well - I think this could work!  |

Now that's an idea! What sizes do they come? They'd probably require spacers anyway  Widest I found so far was quoted with 7.5x16"? ET40 - 10mm spacers - sorted. |

Looks like they'r quite sought after in the water cooled VW scene. Found some advertised rnaging from 25-300€/set. That's not too bad, though.  |
