Hi! Can anyone help me identify the wheels on this 2cv
Hi! Can anyone help me identify the wheels on this 2cv
I am going to make an educated guess and say they were made by Gotti. They are the only multipiece wheel manufacturer that I know of that did the French 3 lug pattern. The faces are also very similar in design to more popular Gotti wheels.
Not currently in production though.

Gotti is what I was gonna guess too.
That car has a crazy cool story.
Trent nailed it, the other giveaway is that 16 bolt shells were not used by many companies besides Gotti once you got over 15".
Might as well post my Gottis. Currently being refurbed. Centers painted, lips polished, backshells painted an new BBS bolts
Gotti also used M7 button head screws on magnesium washers to hold the wheels together. Distinctive, very hard to find and despite not being fancy plated stuff like BBS used they are very expensive to replace. This is why I am reassembling with BBS stuff
so are Gotti and BBS the same bolt pattern for the outers ?
any others that are the same ?
I have some wide BBS rims that are too wide
So bummed I nearly gave away very nice gotti 13x5.5 in 4x100 years ago. Would love to have upsized the barrells and run them on El Rabbitto.

Nope, they don't match. In 16" OZ had some wheels that fit the big bolt hole 15" bbs centers. Otherwise not much crosses over
So the OP asked if anyone could identify the wheels. I came here only to say, "duh! Of course someone here can, this is GRM!"

BTW: I have three of these 075p in 15x7 if someone comes across another one lol

You are in luck. BBS is the most common and most popular 3 piece wheel out there so the aftermarket for them is huge!

Lips and barrels are available in a vast array of sizes
Thanks I had a feeling they were Gotti, as they did wheels for alpine, guess it's time to scour ebay. Thanks again!

eBay and FB Marketplace. I finally stumbled across a set of 14" Panasport wheels for my Spitfire and/or GT6 that I've been looking for as long as I've owned Spitfires (over 10 years). You may need to be patient.

Don't forget to scout eBay.fr and .de as well. I've had pretty good luck finding oddities that folks are willing to ship. And those were likely only made three bolt so unlikely you'll find them to fit anything else. Good luck!
That crazy deux chevaux from the op is up for grabs again...

...I enjoy torturing myself by browsing that site, thankfully most are RHD and I don't dig that so somewhat of relief, but totally enjoy seeing the wide range of verboten vehicles we never got (hello Fiat 500 Abarth Biposto!).
CC seems so clinical tho when compared to BaT because comment streams are fun in my opinion.
They've expanded globally tho and offer a few USA cars here and there, like this Elise may actually end up being a bargain:
