Title: 8 spoke alloys
Post by: dobsy on 15 August 2006, 12:22

Have just been to see a potential purchase and wanted some info on the wheels that were on it-they look ver y much like the Castellets?? but believe these had 7 spokes but the ones on this car had 8 spokes. Car was a small bumper MK2 by the way.
I'll try and get a pic posted but what you reckon-nasty aftermarket ones? The owner reckons they are original but I'm not convinced.
Thanks in advance for any info.

I think these are Le castellets (or something like that)-done a bit of poking around on here and believe these are are on the campaign model? still don't know what the 8 spokes are off though.
