Alloys?

Sep 24, 2003 14 Replies

I've recently bought a second hand set of alloys, but don't know what make they are and so can't insure them till I do...



They are 15", and have red centre caps with a sort of 'split pin' type thing going through a hole in them. Spokes, there are many (they split after the centre to 2 sections, so maybe 18 sections hitting the outer wheel)



Any ideas anyone?



Thanks

Sound like TSW Hockenhiem's to me boss.....

ask the person you bought them off? some alloys have the name molded into them, look under the centre cap

Hmm, VERY close but not quite the same. The centre cap is more of a erm... "conical" shape.

I bought them from a scrappie and he didn't know what make they are... besides at £150 for the set including 4 good tyres I didn't want to hang around too long ;)

They are 4 spoke if that helps...

Er : "Spokes, there are many (they split after the centre to 2 sections, so maybe 18 sections hitting the outer wheel)"

Four stud maybe?

He means four *stud*.

Yeah, sorry guys... I'm not sure why I wrote that. Yeah, 4 STUD!

I've posted them with pics of the car on the mondy club site... hang on... lets find the link...

They look like TSW Hockehheims to me, or a copy of said wheels.

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus on the forum as well... but what do I insure them as? (if at all at £150 for the lot?) They aren't actually TSWs by the look of it, like you said, a copy...

And... I'm only 18, will they push up my premium a lot as well? I am not too bothered about them getting stolen, I live in a relatively safe area... (Deepest Dorset!)

Thanks a lot

Phone your insurance company and ask ! I'd start with "I'm thinking of getting these" and see what they say. Don't say you've actually got em, until you've got a reasonable price from them.
