what are these wheels?

Postby Gunns » February 21st, 2008, 7:37 am

in the past few week I have come across 3 set of these rims while looking for genuine SVO's. Can anyone tell me what they are?

Maybe google Contra? (that's what my centrecaps have on them)

Mine have small drillbit-sized holes between the stud holes, plus the allen-bolts where the rim meets the face. The shape of the face is identical to mine though

I agree with Wayne, they look like an early eighties Mercedes rim.

only seen them in 16x8, but a lot of people advertise them as SVO rim, and waste my time.
