Jason986S Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Was wishful thinking and worth chancing my luck. Finding a tidy used one for under £700 is proving difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj225 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Definitely look like a Rinspeed replica. They have a bit more of a 'soft' look to them, almost like a TSW/Fox wheel (but bought that they are). Found these on my travels.. Love this style of wheel - if only I had no common sense/more money... http://www.rimstyle.com/alloywheels/wheel/?wheel=bola_b5_ss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These remind me of the early Alfa wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Looks a lot like a wheelmainia Dare alloy, although I haven't seen them for ages. It does look like the Kahn Rsr and if it is it will be stamped on the back. Wheel mainia use to sell a lot of replica alloys and they use to do Kahn replicas as genuine Kahn alloys are very expensive. It maybe easier to measure your centre badges and try and replace all four of them. If you find the centres to be an odd size compared of what's for sale that can also be a give away of replica alloys. I remember years ago people buying the replica golf gti alloys but trying to fit the oem centres but they didn't fit! I had similar with some replica Audi TT alloys but I managed to mod the original centre caps to fit. But even so with a bit of research on the net you should find something to fit. Very nice looking wheel and car by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, teledial style. Not as shyatee looking as pepperpots, but not far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one thing as a fellow wheelophile, Khan alloys always tend to either have the "K" logo or "K H A N" somewhere on the face of the wheel. Lovely looking car btw.

They're cheap knock offs of Rotiform which are basically cheap knock offs of OE wheels. They weigh a ridiculous amount as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome fun to drive and once the exhaust mod is done it should sound fantastic as well. I did notice that there was a weird symbol on the wheels and always wondered what it was as it looked a bit like an arrow. Now I know that it's actually a Letter K. D'oh!!!!
