They are Borbet A's with the flat cap - good luck at getting them for under £500 with tyres!!!

Yes Dom! +1
And they have various stud fitments, Just more of them about in 4x100!
You can pick up a set for £500 with tyres easy...

Uhmmm My 2p would be Merc 8 Holes with the Centre cap in Silver  :cool:

+1 on merc 8 holes, you can pick up a set without tyres that need a refurb (good chance to strip them and do them black maybe?) for under £100, although you would need adaptors / tyres can get it all sorted for easily under £400
