The official "What is this wheel?" thread.

[wworm]

Been searching for too long trying to find out what these are. Any ideas?

No one?

Anyone know the model of these MSW wheels? All I know is they are MSW, 4X100, 15X7. I asked the seller what the offset of the wheels are and have not heard back yet. I did a Google search on vintage/old school MSW and didn't find anything on these wheels.

Edit (5/27/18), I just found pics of these MSW wheels in the VW Vortex website in wheels for sale section. There are two different ads regarding these wheels. One seller says the wheels are MSW Princes and the other said they are MSW Amil wheels so I'm confused on what the name of these MSW wheels are. BTW, I went over to the sellers house today and checked them out, they are ET26. I bought them on the spot, $100 for all 4, seller wanted them gone. They need to be restored but nothing a wheel shop can't fix. My 15X7 ET26 MSW basketweaves will probably go up for sale since I hate cleaning basketweaves but that's down the road.

there was a thread about them a while back. Apparently someone emailed them and they weight like 28lbs each so everyone in the thread (including myself) jumped ship

steelies look damn good but not worth the heft IMO

If I remember correctly - they are even heavier around 32lbs each. I was looking into them as well until I heard how much they weigh.

I can tell by the pixles



















But really, the spokes are too square, the bolts are wrong, and the valve stem is in the wrong place.

Style 5 reps, made in China and sold by a number of cheap companies such as BB5.

How do you tell the difference between the replicas and the real thing?

Found these in a local yard and I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick them up even though they are 5x120. I'll just run some adapters. Anyone know what they are called?

Momo "Stars"
R3 is the 3 piece version of those

Anyone try these Corsa GT Steelies yet? They look like they might clear the calipers in the front, but F@#$ if i know. I'm not trying to space the hell out of steelies again. Thanks. 16x8 5.00" back spacing 4x100 in photos.

BBS RD, kinda rare, not too desirable. Worth maybe 5-800 depending on condition
