    so what's the deal with my non-matching Euroweaves?

    So my project car came with a spare set of what I thought were Euroweaves. But I just pulled them down to clean/paint them and it turns out only two of them are BBS. The other two don't have the BBS or "Made in W Germany" stamps on them, but they do have a BMW stamp on them.

    I know there were the non-BBS basketweaves for the IX, but all four of mine are ET24, so they're not IX wheels.

    Was there a non-BBS 15x7 basketweave made in a 24 offset at some point? Or are all of these BBS, but just not with the stamp?

    NOt that it really matters since I'm using them as my street/tarmac wheels on my rallycross project and don't really care what they are. I'm just curious, really.

    Cliffs: All four are identical except for the center hub section stampings and lug hole area (same spokes, etc). All four are 15x7, with ET24.

    Drop some knowledge on me....

    looks like the odd pair are made by ATE. I know that the stock 14" weaves were done by both BBS and Lemmers, so it does stand to reason that the 15" euroweaves also had more than one contractor that supplied the wheels.

      i had a set of euroweaves at one point, all made by BBS but there were clearly two different molds, as the centers were slightly different and the spokes slightly narrower. the wheels were made over a long period, so changes in manufacturing can be expected. they were similar enough that unless you knew they were different, you wouldn't notice.
