Mystery alloys!
jamesbond007ltk - 7/5/06 at 11:20 PM

Please can someone help me!

I am trying to work out what car my alloys are off. They were bought for me years ago and claimed by the scrappy to be Capri alloys. I am pretty sure they are not.

Anyone got any ideas?

They are 18 spoke, 5.5x13" and are ford/peugeot four stud fitment.

PS, not the spare, the one in the centre of the pic.

Looks like the ones Tim Dutton used on Phaeton's etc (My S3 has them)

I'll try and find a reference

I had a pair like that one my Spitfire they were called 100+ (name is impossible to search for so I don't know any other details).

Rimstock PLC make/supply Team Dynamics & 100+ alloy wheels amongst other brands.

Website here Linky-Link

Can't see any on there that match yours, but I guess they may not be made any more.

Early 3 series shark nose BMWs had rims like these.

I had a set of compomotive alloys on a VW Scirocco about 10 years ago that looked very similar and were 13". Are there any markings on them?

Thanks for all your help guys,

I am not with my car at the moment and won't be for a few days

However, from memory i think the rims have 100+ written on the. I always figured theese were a size or reference marking. Could be my mind playing tricks but it sounds familiar.

Thanks again!

Having found out that they are 100+ alloys (thanks guys) I emailed a photo to their techies and have just found out that they are called Octavo. See photo below.

No I just need to find another for my spare! I only have 4!!!! Rescued attachment octavo.jpg
