Could anyone identify these alloys?

job seeker

The only info I haved on them that they are 4x100 pcd and 59.1 centre bore. "Made in Italy" is stamped on the inside of the spoke. So they must be off some sort of Italian car??



The exact same wheel I seen for sale on line in the retro rides forum only they are 16" and mine are 14". Seller gives no brand.. Just states that they are made in italy.




Anyone have any idea atall? Just at wits end trying to find out the brand???

They're not original equipment alloys, they look to be from the 90s.

They might be TSW Alpines?

Actually, inner lip looks different.

Pictures won't load here.

Any chance to get numbers/symbols stamped on them (apart from "made in italy" thing)?

Can't see pictures. Wasn't there an Italian alloy wheel maker called Aleniso or something like that, was loads of them around in the 90/00.

Looks like just weight and production marks.

I'm nearly sure a mate of mine has those on a corsa, there was loads of them around 10-15 years ago.
Are you looking for a replacement one, try a few scrapyards, it was a very common cheap aftermarket alloy.

Ah.. Nothing else stamped. Ah no, just annoying not knowing what make they are.. But if I found the brand. Id invest in one just for a spare wheel.. Just more for convenience, more than anything.. Cheers

I wouldn't bother tbh, you'll have 4 steelies anyway. You're unlikely to fatally damage one as you've a big enough tyre.

MIM were an Italian alloy wheel maker in the 90,s.
Had a lovely set of MIM raffino's on my pug 306 d-turbo back in the day:).

When I type MIM 5 spoke alloys into Google those wheels show up as for sale on gum tree as an old ad.

Company closed down afaik...

The inner lip of the alloys on his is concave though, the ones you and I listed are both convex, and look pretty much the same as each other.

I was actually looking at the picture of the alloys you posted:o

you have the name of the make?? :eek::eek:

EDIT: Just reread your post...

I had the same set. Got them in a scrapyard. Never knew what make they were. Mazda made a very similar (but not identicle) wheel.

colm_mcm

Same story with the inner edge curving out rather than in though
Had those on a 323 too.

They're mille miglia wheels.

colm_mcm

Link?


Mille miglia wheels were fairly stylish back in the day. No offence to jobseekers choice of wheels, but those ones are very plain with big chunky spokes. There were lots of similar ones to these back in the day, they were generally at the bottom end of the market.

I don't think they are Mille miglia wheels. As you say though there is lots of similar wheels to the op's wheels. Smiths, mazda etc all very similar.
