What Alloys are these????

With my part built kit I received got some alloys. No centres and they need a refurbish but I thought I might use them as new wheels is the last thing on my mind at this stage of the build.

One is buckled however and I don't know where/how to obtain a new one without a name for them? Anyone?

They are 17in with 108 centres
Update: Sorry for the large image, I will know better next time.

hmm, they don't look exactly like the suggestions above*

there's a guy near me who can fix buckled wheels. a mate of mine had one done by him. i don't know how he does it, but he does. the guy isn't a wheel refubisher either. just a garage.
if you speak to a wheel refurbishing place, they might be able tot do it, or at least suggest someone who can.

how bent are we talking though?

edit *except the team dynamics monza ones

I have an alloy wheel which had a buckled lip, just got a bottle jack and some wood, braced against the good side, applied lots of pressure and whacked it with a hammer.

Got the lip out but the ali did spilt so welded up the crack, been as good as gold since.


Worth a go I recon.

Team Dynamics Monza's.

I've had a few sets of them inmy time, 15's and 17's on my previous cars.

Very nice looking wheel, IMO.

They look like a few sets of wheels. Actually it was OZ Super T's that sprung to mind. A classic ford rim....

Sorry to thread hijack -

I could do with a fifth Team Dynamics Monza 15" in anthracite if anyone has one...

Cheapskates only put a steel spare on mine.

Oz superleggeras have intermitent spacing between the spokes so it's not them and if it's a copy it's a shite copy.

Team dynamic monzas don't have the hole near the hub and have "TEAM DYNAMIC" engraved in blingage font near the hub....

Thanks for all the suugestions.

First I thought they were DT pro race 1.2 but the number of spokes is different.

DT monza's look about the closest match. I thought about having bigger wheels on the back so I could buy to very similar wheels second hand for the back and get them all powder coated.
