  • Need a little help

    So, to make an incredibly long story short, I bought a set of "mystery" wheels from someone over the weekend (mainly for the tires), and I've been unsuccessful thus far in identifying just what in the hell the are. I figured there might be someone on here that's seen something similar, or may be able to identify them correctly.

    There are no stamps on the back for a brand, there are no identifying marks as to who makes them, and there were no center caps. Of course, the wheels were painted at one point in their life, so there are no stickers in the barrels, either.

    What I do know about them:
    -17x7"
    -Offset of around +40mm
    -5x114.3 bolt pattern
    -72.1mm hub bore
    -They were also offered in 4x100, 4x114.3, and 5x100.


    They don't show up in any kind of catalog I've been able to find so far, and my closest guess it that they're some kind of Weds SA-90 knockoff from the 90's. What's strange is, they have this odd-shaped pocket between the lug holes that I've only ever seen on a Konig Traffik, but they're clearly not that design either. The ONLY mark I've found any background is a faint "A202" marking on the back of one of the spokes. Apparently, I'm not the only one who's lost, because another individual has the same set of wheels in 4x100 and was unsuccessful and identifying them.

    Thank you in advance for any help!

        Thanks dude, somehow I glazed over the sticky.

        I'm pretty sure they're just cheapies as well, but at the cost of a tank of fuel, they're better than the bent wheels I'm currently using on my Accord.

              From the website where you probably got the picture from:
              https://www.drive2.ru/r/mercedes/288230376151860986/
              No, that is not the wheel. That (OZ MAE) descriptions refers to these wheels

                    • ^ If those are 13x6, I would suspect they're Carroll Shelby CSS.

                      • They are. I always forget about those. Thanks man.

                        • does anyone know anything about these? They're stamped BBS but I've never seen them before. They're definitely two or three piece wheels, but the bolts are flat and the nuts on the back are round as if they were meant to not ever be taken back apart

                          • Bbs ry
                            As far as I can tell they're RY 614?


                            3-piece...
                            Atleast the 17" are ..these look small..

                            The bolts can be taken off, just not re-useable

                              If they have regular nuts on the back you can re-use them...

                              If they look like this, you can't re-use them.

                              They are called tacbolts...

                              But work hardware fits these, Rob used them on his Bugattis...

                              Same goes for BBS Pininfarina, Bugatti, Moda, RL and a few more...
