I just bought 4 wheels on ebay a couple weeks ago and I have no clue what kind they are. (Neither did the seller). They are 15x8 I beleive with a 4x100 bolt pattern (I'm using spacers to convert my bolts to 4X100). The lip is a little over 3 inches.

Hmmm.... you can ask a machine shop to redrill the holes to 4x114.3

it would save you time at the track when you're swapping wheels, and the whole spacer "converter" thing can be kinda shady sometimes.

The wheels are pretty nice though, just clean them up.

Yup, Momo's. They are called Quazars. Popular on water-cooled VWs in the late 80s/early 90s.

Edited to correct wheel name.

There's a pic of them in a different offset on this forum:

Also, there WERE knockoffs of this wheel, so they may or may not be real Momos, but that's at least what they were based off of.

Yeah, I did some research on them, Momo Quasars. I've been running the spacers for a year and a half so it doesn't bother me.

^^^Glad that mine aren't that offset... I like the 3" lip.

I sandpapered the lip and painted the spokes gunmetal, look nice! I only payed $150 for all 4. I saw some going for $1000 on a JSPEC knock off site.

Look sorta like these now minus the center caps.
