Question What Alloys are these?????

OK pop pickers.... the Mrs has bought herself a new run around and it has come with alloys that look like this......





Can anyone PLEASE tell me what make / model they are? The insurance company want to know how much they would cost to replace and I'm a bit stumped

I've checked out the usual contenders but nothing seems to come close

Cheers

Andy

sorry can't guess what they are but jack it up and remove one and sure it will be stamped on the back of the hub/spoke?

After looking at a ton of pictures, I still no idea but have seen them some where before.

Since they have a Ripspeed logo on, they are from Halfords so try them.
(could also carefully peel the centre logo offf to see if the original maker label is on, if there is one)

Richie, with the Ripspeed logo in the middle this was the first place I looked.... but no avail I'm afraid

The logo in the middle is like the Prodrive one ie it's a complete plastic middle section that is just pushed in!!!

I've had a look on the back of the alloys (without taking one off yet) and all I can see is some very short stamped codes like "DOT-T" which don't seem to mean anything.

I guess at the moment I can only hope that the make is stamped somewhere on the inside where the alloy butts up to the disc.

Im sure if you give as much infomation as you can on the wheels the insurance company will be fine with that. Make and Model are usually Irrelevent. The cost of them and size are usually most important. Most will not accept unless they have locking wheel nuts either but i see yours do.

Just read your post again, you are just after the price . Tell them they are less than 10% of the value of the car and they should be ok

they look very similar to my old speedlines mate , the mark between the spokes on the second picture down is what was on mine ,


Not sure if this helps however , but worth a shot

Definately not fron the Speedline family, the mark is usually found on alloys, don't know what it means though.

I think the JIL means that the alloys has been manufactured to a certain standard
