Mystery wheel...

coupequattro

Can anyone help me identify the wheels on Dave Llewellin's Audi Coupe quattro (circuit of Ireland 1987) as in the following photo?

I reckon they are OZ..

There was a similar style used on Scirocco's of that vintage.. plus I had some on my Golf 1 around 1985.. 4 stud and vanes went inwards..

I'll try and find a pic!

I've seen that wheel before, I thought they where Ronal but after
a quick google I think they're not.

You should try one of the Quattro Forums, like this one:
http://www.quattroforum.com/forum/

There's an dedicated UR Quattro club in the UK, at
http://www.quattroownersclub.com/
I thought they have a forum, but I can't see a link on the site.

I've talked to those guys a few times at classic shows in the UK,
if they don't know, noone will!

At a stretch, if you get on to the guys at Dialynx
http://www.dialynx.co.uk/
not only should they know, I'd say they could sell them to you.
They've been making quattro rally cars (including short wheel base sports conversions)
for years now, they know their stuff.

Best of luck!

I'm actually a moderator on the quattroforum, no luck there. Consensus there seemed to be that they might be Compomotive, but they look more like OZ to me too. I'd suspect that they are OZ, as the car in the photo actually had "OZ" on the rear lower quarter panels.
Most of the quattro owners club guys visit the quattro forum on a frequent basis....
I've also seen some BMW Alipna wheels that were similar too, but I'd suspect that the PCD / offset would be wrong for an Audi....

Look like a BBS wheel to me...........:o

Oh err you know the usual haunts so!

If you knew who it was that ran and prepped that car for Llewellin you could try them.

A friend of a friend was making a Rothman's 911 a while back, and had
some real specific questions. He actually rang Prodrive themselves and after
some talking in circles he got the answers he was looking for.

I know it was many moons ago, but there could be someone there who was a
young fella on the tools years ago and has moved up the ladder, it's worth a shot!

You could also try OZ themselves, and I still reckon Keith Murray might have an idea,
he's done a lot of quattro restorations, he might know....

'twas Dave Sutton that prepared the cars, I haven't tried him yet, I gather that he won't release information without there being something in it for him.......
I've emailed OZ too, hopefully get a reply soon....
