They look a lot like ATS Racelight but detail differences suggest they might not be. There are a few very similarly styled wheels on the market.
Are they your wheels Daniel? If not then it shouldn’t be too hard to track down the owner to ask them yourself assuming the photo is from social media or a forum.
If I get chance later in the week I’ll try and work out exactly what they are.

Post by: Exonian on 18 May 2021, 05:29: Being as they’re on a German car then I’d suggest it might well be these V1 wheels https://www.felgenoutlet.com/en/alloy-wheels-tyres/v1-wheels_ff_16_1421

Other similar designs are Dotz Misano or Sparco Podio

Post by: bogwoppit on 18 May 2021, 06:46: The V1 is fairly heavy, 12.5kg in 18" x 8J size, but they do look good.

Post by: DanielPT on 18 May 2021, 09:03: They do look good indeed, but 13Kg.. damn!!! Anyway, many thanks for the help guys.

The Sparco Podio and ATS Racelight are much lighter.

The bodywork add ons may well have been Oettinger, I didn’t take too much notice of them, but the splitter and spoilers were red herrings! :grin:

Wheel nerd hey? I’ll take that as a compliment :grin:.

Agree with Exonian, they certainly look like V1’s - they have a little kink in the design on the spokes (arrowed in the picture below) that you can also see in the picture posted by @DanielPT.
