    Alloy Wheel ID

    Can anyone identify these? They came on a Corsa B SXI I've just picked up, but I'm 99.9% sure they're aftermarket rather than Vauxhall or taken from another marque.



    They are OZ branded, have a code KBA 42743 cast under the centre cap, the centre caps are marked M526. They are 6x14 ET36 4x100 and are fitted with 57.06mm OZ branded alloy spigot rings.

    Anyone got an idea of what they were called or what they might have originally be intended for so I can flog 'em easier?

    They seem very familiar, I'm almost sure they were a sort of generic type wheel as they look similar to ones I've seen on some Fords. I'm damned sure I had some of these in 15" flavour on a Vectra once too.

    Is the centre badge a cheap sticker or a quality one or a 'proper' badge? Wouldn't the spigot ring indicate they intended for a car with a different offset though?

    They're high quality stick on badges - might even be stick on badges from Vauxhall. The offset would indicate that they were not intended for a Corsa (and it handled like a sack of spuds). I'm beginning to think maybe whoever sold them new fitted them to a Vauxhall, ignored the offset and just hammered in the right spigot ring for a Vauxhall. Since they're pressed in alloy spigot rings I'd guess they were fitted by the dealer that sold them. The only other thing I can think they'll fit with that centre bore and offset is a Rover.

    Any more thoughts? Newer 4 stud Vaux perhaps?

    14" wheels on an Omega Kev? I thought they all had 15s?

    Dave, 4x100 was also Renault and VW fitment (amongst others) though I seem to recall Golfs had pretty much the same offset mate.

    Have you tried an on-line wheel guide at all? If you Google 'Carl Salter wheel fitment guide' you could work through that and see what matches up exactly to get a better idea. There isn't any pictures of wheels but the offset and PCD etc are listed and it's a very useful website.

    *Edit: isn't an ET of 36 just about right for an Astra, seem to recall they were suited to something like ET35-40 but I stand to be corrected. Oh, and if you can measure the centre bore it'd help as Carl Salter lists all of them as well.

    Centre bore is 57.06 as stamped on the spigot ring. Found the fitment guide thanks. Seems they are the right spigot rings for a Vauxhall.

    Did they do an Omega with 4 stud then? - that would explain it.

    Those are OZ Antiguas. Also sold as MSW and other brands with different center caps. They date from the middle to late 1990s. They were also sold as aftermarket wheels primarily for 4-lug BMWs (E21-E30) and 4-lug water-cooled VWs. Mine are ET35.
