they are very similar but the centre caps are bigger on the ones i have. also they are 10 spoke, not 9. i think the ones you have suggested are possibly a later version or inspired by the ones i have. the nuvo rings a bell.

a mate has informed me vw fitted these wheels to a concept car for a motor show, then a wheel company produced a load of replicas - they were readily available a few years ago.

Ahh, I think the Mam7s are the reps of the Audi Nuvolari wheel (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mam7+nuvo&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=Un_qTpb-HoiRswaQnMy7Bw&biw=1149&bih=651&sei=VX_qTvH_HpmQsAbrvfCCBw#um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Audi+Nuvolari+wheels&oq=Audi+Nuvolari+wheels&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=0l0l4l5337l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=ae5304fef49dcdb&biw=1149&bih=651)
