    Wheel whores - What are these please?



    Saw this set of Schmidt's in PVW.
    Perhaps something to look forward to.

    TIA,
    Mal

    Don't think they're Schmidts, just retrofitted Schmidt caps.

    Pretty unique design, most meshes are Y-spoke but these are X-spoke (Hotwires?), and those separations in between the bolt holes seem pretty unique too... Compomotive made similar wheels?





    Edit: Epsilons look similar too, but they don't cave in around the stud pattern area:

    Thanks for the in-focus shot..

    BBS made a wheel damn near identical to that. Definitely not Schmidts but.

    The shape around the bolt holes looks very BBS/Mahle..

    Could also be a japanese brand too.. The machined face points towards Jap style..

    Mahle make forged products. Wheels, pistons etc etc. They do magnesium wheels too.

    Google Mahle wheels, you'll crack a chubby one.
