    Right thanks to the people who can act like a adult for a second and actually posted something helpfull.
    
    Second the seats are like that because the car has loads of bits inside the car atm! and is for track so i dont drive it evrywhere.
    
    And to the people that say halfords what makes you say that or ripspeed? i mean thats my guess to but ther markings on the back - rw - franchorchapms - which is a race circuit for those that dont know - also made in belgium etc etc and m not sure on a price as i am waiting to find out what they are mate.
    
    If anyone can give me a 100 percent or needs clearer photos i will try my best to get a pic of the inside agaiin with proper camera

    In this photo the top spoke reads Made in Belguim.
    
    The middle spoke reads Franchorchamps 1.
    
    And the bottom reads a code of - 6Jx14H2
    
    And in the centre you can see - ET 18
    
    
    One of the code and weird part on the right which reads 98 or 86 in a weird circle.
    
    
    In this photo the left spoke is blank and the one that folowws reads - 10.8 OIT
    L.K
    The next spoke reads E29 A
    
    And then RW
    
    
    
    Please someone identify these asap or lead to me where someone can thank you in advance

    The code in a circle your on about is date of production, i would imagine its 98 and there should be an arrow to the month of production as well.

    #14 3rd August 2011, 16:29

    :o if these where made in 98 and are in this goo condition fabrication wise im shocked i know they need a blast down and pant but the metal side of things is mint for that old anyway

    No mate there s nothing else next to them to say the date so would that mean its not the year of manufactuerer?

    Alloy compounds aren't the most resiliant of metals and so if over time the lacquer has been damaged or removed etc etc they will corrode quite quickly
17. BIG Established Member Joined: Jul 2011 HERTS Posts: 1041 SILVER R

    #17 3rd August 2011, 16:34

    hmm well the outside is a little corroded but the inside markings on all 4 alloys are very thick and very clear, its only because of the differences in colour that ts hared to see them
    
    Do you know of any wheel professonals?

    Have done a quick search rw is a german wheel manufacturer RIAL Leichtmetallfelgen, current range shows a very similar wheel with 7 twin spoke design rather than 8
    
    Edit: They have also produced some designs based on bbs wheels from what i've seen

    #23 3rd August 2011, 17:58

    Have a look and see what you think, i'd assume they are RW's as that was all i could find although it was only a quick search

29. BIG Established Member Joined: Jul 2011 HERTS Posts: 1041 SILVER R

    #29 3rd August 2011, 21:08

    Could be a set of AEZ wheels, i dont think they are ripspeeds as they are 1998s from the markings and I dout they would still be on the road.
    
    Look a fairly decent set of wheels tho mate
34. BIG Established Member Joined: Jul 2011 HERTS Posts: 1041 SILVER R

    #34 4th August 2011, 00:32

    Thanks venns it is kinda tempting to keep them but 3 sets hahaha thats a bit much plus no storage.
    
    But would be a really easy refurb and would look lovely imo its just the width that i dont like

36. BIG Established Member Joined: Jul 2011 HERTS Posts: 1041 SILVER R

    #36 4th August 2011, 16:43
