Does anyone know what these wheels are likely to be?

EvanB says "The wheels on the manta have no markings to indicate size but just by comparison they look like 5" wide with higher offset."

13"

4x100

probably aftermarket

I'd like to know what they are so I can research weight and likely offset.

They also appear to be a 2-piece wheel.

Can you tell if the center attaches to the 'barrel' or if the barrel is split?

Loosing some detail from that angle but they look like MSW (OZ racing) basket weaves or one of the hundreds of similar knock offs.

They look like the first picture, barrel is not split that I can tell.

They look like Episilon wheels to me.

The center looks different than the Epsilons, they look more like the wheel centers posted above not the Epsilon with the raised areas around the lug holes.

Thanks! The Opel will likely get my 13" BBS from an E21 since they are lower offset. Chris is interested in fitting the black wheels on his Insight.

I'll take more detailed pictures tonight and measure the offset/backspace.

The tires are 175/70/13.

Yep, much better detail. They appear the same as these based on the center design and outer rim bolts http://termitewerks.info/twin-charged-vw-rabbit-proposal/13_inch_ronal_basketweave/

Which the poster identifies as 13" Ronal basketweave 2 piece but I can't find them when looking through Ronal basketweaves so Im not sure if his info is correct.

MSW's measure 13x6 and have very small holes between the spokes. They are at least as hard to clean as Enkei 92's.

Those look like multi-piece wheels with the bolts at the peaks of intersecting spokes.

In reply to JThw8:

They look similar to the Ronal design wise but the face is completely flat.

I think they could be Volk (Rays) based on the shape of the center:

I was thinking the face flatness may have been a matter of offset.

The volk (rays) do look similar too but they have a continuous band around the outside whereas the peaks with the bolts on these wheels seem to be individual not all joined together like the volk.

Judging by the pics of the inside of the wheel, they look like one piece wheels that are made to look like a 2 piece.
