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.
