I have been searching the net for MONTHS now trying to figure out what these are and I cannot find them ANYWHERE........

Those are some bad ass rims!!! The brand is HTN. And it's the KS GOLD Design. It's made in the UK. Very good quality and very expensive.
I was going to buy those for my rabbit pickup, but chose the Schmidt TH-line instead.
Here's the link... Click on Alloy wheels, then click on HTN.

Where as you come in with alot of information. It is not accurate. You can plainly tell by the centercap that it is a BBS wheel, now which one to be exact is the question. It is a BBS E49, at first i thought it was an E50, but the "sharp points" are more drawn down on the one pictured. The "flat lip" usually points to a 13 or 14 inch wheel as the 15's and 16's get a bit more of a 'slant' on the lip to make the overall wheel diameter larger. If you dont believe me or just think i'm full of shit, check it out over on Rader-Info: http://www.bbs-racing-wheels.com/Seiten/htm.Txt/e50vE.htm
PS "KS GOLD" is a BBS E30 knock-off (if you will)
As I do not come around here much, I will keep the 'notify me' checked.
Thanks,

There
Now We Know
The "AXES OG-San" look damn near spot on
all you would need is the center caps
and with the E49s NLA
might be alot easier and cheaper to go with them

They're BBS 3 piece. A feature about the car is in the new book Demon Bugs the just came out, the owner says they're bbs 3 piece. Outer lip, center, inner lip. How do you know anyways if you can't see the inner lip  ? |
