Pretty certain they aren't. The most similar ones to thesr were always BBS RAs, which these aren't. I already own a set of them...

I'm pretty sure I've seen these in 12in flavour on a mini. Might suggest they're aftermarket rather than manufacturers alloys.

I agree to the vw dementi, but can't help here in any other direction. Maybe aftermarket stuff. But that wooden guard caught my eye, is it against dog jumping-around-car activities?  |

Possibilities-
Metro gta- nope
Vauxhall nova some sort of non sporty model- nope
Orion 1600e - nope , would have to be 14"
They have that mid 80s to early 90s rubbish oem look were having any sort of alloys was a selling point.
I thought they might be mini after market but I can't find anything. Or rubbish bbs style wheels like you found on golf gti 2s or e30s but they would be 14" as well.

I'm pretty sure I've seen these in 12in flavour on a mini. Might suggest they're aftermarket rather than manufacturers alloys. It is a strong possibility as the chap selling them has done some Mini stuff in the past. Possibilities- Metro gta- nope Vauxhall nova some sort of non sporty model- nope Orion 1600e - nope , would have to be 14" They have that mid 80s to early 90s rubbish oem look were having any sort of alloys was a selling point. I thought they might be mini after market but I can't find anything. Or rubbish bbs style wheels like you found on golf gti 2s or e30s but they would be 14" as well. Pretty sure they aren't BBS. No marking on them. Every other set of BBS I've seen has had some identifying marks. Possibly, though I'm not familiar - will take a look. Also have you checked throughly for any markings ? Of course. Nothing apart from a couple of number casting stamps "207" I was thinking mg maestro they look very close. Nope. Different centres. i was thinking kn, wolfrace or similar, so had a google and found this, which is neither, its a compomotive and looks pretty close Similar but no. Look at the shape of the centre section - it's almost square on those where as mine are more circular. |

Steve Nova ones were similar but not the same as these. just found these VAUXHALL CAVALIER 15" Expression BBS style Alloy Wheels No, again, not the same... Thanks for everyone's help so far, but I think I'm going to have to book half of you in for eye tests. I was looking for positive identification not "they look like BBS x, y or Z". They're quite distinct compared to BBS and the closest I can find is Compomotive CXs, but even these are slightly different! THE HUNT CONTINUES! |

Until we find out I'll have to assume they were intended for the mystery car lol The centres of the compomotive wheels do look slightly different to yours so it would be easy to assume they arnt from the same manufacturer, but the wheels may have been made at different times and being different sizes they are a different casting anyway. Deffo the same look.

Deffo the same look. Compomotive are the only one I've found where the spokes come to a "V" at the rim edge, but they always (that I know of) stamp into the edge of the rim their name or at least the wheel size, except on splits. So that would rule that out. Also not BWA, Centra or Riken (although Riken wheels looks similar in the centre). Cannot find any KN examples from the era. No help really except to rule out some more. |
