    They do look very similar to Rallyes, but the spokes look flatter on your pic.
    The main face on the OZ sits proud of the rim, on yours it doesnt

      I wondered if it was the size that did that because the wheel is a 8x18

                Ah yes!
                Its an OZ Monte Carlo, same as on an Escos Monte

                EDIT: Im being daft, its not called that haha, but it is an OZ wheel that was used on the Monte.

                IRRC, someone on Passionford got in touch with them a few years ago about making an 18 or 19 inch version, was big money though and obviously 4 stud

                    looks like thats a good possibility what size are the cossie one's as standard (even tho they are 4 stud)

                    which wheel are you thinking of mate? I have seen one compomotive rim but it looked different to this.



                    must admit i'd quite like this in anthracite

                      Hmm, scrap that.... the Escos one is different.
                      But, the one on the left looks very similar!
                      Unfortunatly its a genuine WRC magnesium one which is VERY rare



                      Id say the one in your pic is definitly an OZ mate

                        IIRC the OZs are high nickel content, much tougher for the purposes of competition ....just something I seem to recall.

                              Thats not it, the one in your first pic has a flat centre, that one is curved inwards to where the bolt holes are
