thats what i was about to say, dremmel off the lug and make your own centre caps to fit the hole in the centre from cf mr cf

Nothing of any use to identify them. Size, width, offset & country of manufacture. I will have another look when I get home but couldn't see anything else on them.

Just had another look at the wheels and still no give away.

I've found these that look pretty similar,

Could be some hoping involved there too mind :D. On the back of the wheel the only extra I could see was the number 18 and also P.T with a rectangle after it :?

Try going on to one of the big alloy wheel sites, and using their search filters to narrow down to similar wheels so you can browse through to yours - that's what I did to figure out which BK Racing wheels I had :)

Never heard of them before, but "Primax" look like they could be a contender. They do a wheel very similar, just without the large centre cap, but when looking at a lot of their other wheels, a lot of them do have larger centre caps, so they could be an old model of the ones I've seen. Sadly, none of the picture links work, so just do a google search and see what you think.

Tried the big alloy wheel site look at every wheel move but no luck :( I found there on ebay;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320911090002? ... 1423.l2649

Has the same centre setup but obviously a couple more spokes but the closes match I've found as it has the lug too. I messaged the guy selling & he doesn't know what they are either, DOH!

Accord euro R wheels apparently, just that centre cap grommet but may have had a big cap option...
