Mystery wheels, who made them?
« on: Tuesday,January 24, 2023, 07:19:24 PM »
Can anyone identify these wheels?
13" "Basket Weave" to fit Spitfire/GT6/Lotus Europa.
​​​​​​​They do not show up in the old wheel guide and seem like they may be newer since they have the fake three piece wheel bolts.
The only manufacture marks I can find on them are a "Y" and stamped? partial model number on the back side.
I think they are the usual 5.5 wide.
Backspace 4.5" just like my Cosmic's.
Restored up I think they would look great on a Europa.

Seems unlikely as they are nearly unmarked.
As I recall BBS likes to make their customers advertise for them with BIG brand markings.
Did BBS ever do a 13" wheel?
