Mystery alloys!
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

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

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.
If at first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

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!

Ah ha!
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!!!!
