Wheel identification please

Hi - can any of you wheel experts help me identify the aftermarket wheels on my newly acquired 8 month old Park Lane please.

Here's a piccy:



They're 17" and have 215/40/17 Toyo Proxes T1-S tyres on them.

Any help appreciated thanks

These Look to me like Fliks but ASA makes a wheel that look just like this with a polished lip. I believe you can't find the Fliks anymore....

ASA Model W26

Another configuration you can look at is AEZ Wheels

AEZ Model Xylo

Also Ronal makes something close to this.

TireRack has a Breyton Wheel that is nice:

Hope this Helps..

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'm not sure they're any of them though because my ones have 20 spokes and so far I can't find any examples with that many spokes - unless my countings up the spout tonight (which it may be!).

Here's a couple more images (click on them to see larger versions):

First of all a close up of the wheel so you can get a better idea of what it looks like:



Secondly the car itself, with wheels (it'd be a problem if there weren't any ):

There might be the manufacturers name on the rear of the wheel, but you'll have to remove one to find out, sorry can't be any more help

It's a good point though so thanks

I had actually thought of this but I see as the doomesday option... rather a hassle in truth but might be worth it if nobody can identify the wheels.

Alternatively I could just buy a set of OEM wheels and save myself the hassle but these do look kinda cool and set the car apart so I'm loathe to do that.

Well I might have to replace them if I can't track down what they are and one gets damaged.

As with all these things it's a matter of taste (or lack of it ) and my wife rather likes them although I'd be happy enough with standard PL wheels which I think are cool.

Watch out with these kinda comments though - I got a roasting a few days days ago from a jolly chap over the pond who objected to my comments on viper stripes (silly of me to start a thread on it tho in retrospect) - I guess some of us have more perspective than others on these things and I'll defend your right to hate my wheels to the death... so there!

BTW, I have had a couple (or five) glasses of wine tonight in celebration of getting the car so I may disown all or any comments I've made above tomorrow - particularly if any jolly chaps from across the pond aggressively object to said comments

Maybe we should have a poll - like 'em or hate em?

Two votes against now - does anyone like them?

I hope the rest of the car is cool though?
