They have the look of a late 60's early 70's style wheel that the muscle cars use to run here.

Can't remember what they were called. Sorry.

Probably look pretty good polished...

Salut !

I had a friend waaaaaaay back that had them on a 914, looked the same anyway. They came from a VW and he had some offset issues, but they fit.
You would need to ask the seller about the offset to confirm...
I can't help more because the the car I knew is long gone.

Good luck with it

4X130mm, so it is the correct bolt spacing.

They look like the optional (I think) AL wheels for a Spitfire. Just saw a set a month ago on a Spitfire I looked at here in town. No clue on the offset.

They look thick, I'd guess 3.75 or maybe 4" of backspacing. Anyone know enough french to ask?

I've seen similiar wheels on Mailbus, Novas and others, but only in old pictures...

In the 70's they were known simpley as "slots", had them on my 67 pony,

heavy as hell.

Had a set like that on a 72 dodge colt we drove on the farm back when we were like 10.

I have a set but I think they are wider than those, mine won't fit a teen.

cragars?? (sp?)

The A on the center cap makes me think they were made a Appliance Wheels in the 70's. I had a set on my 73 V-6 Capri ( German Ford). I think the back spacing will be wrong. That was a long time ago and another lifetime.
