AndyFromTheBrac Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Hi I’ve just bought a 1999 Cabriolet and whilst I quite like the 9-spoke wheels that are on it, I’ve no idea what they are? They look like TT/RS 17’ 5-bolt wheels, but they are a bit of an odd 4-bolt arrangement (see last pic). Really tight to get the wheel brace on there and they seem to have 8 potential bolt holes 🤪 Thinking they must be aftermarket (no Audi markings) yet I’ve seen them on other Cabrio’s so I am wondering if anyone here could possibly identify them? Thanks in advance and so glad to have finally landed a Cabriolet, been looking for ages.

AndyFromTheBrac Posted May 5 Author Posted May 5 No, they’re not 9-spoke (5-stud) Audi rims, which is my point. As per the post, these are 4x100 and likely aftermarket.
AndyFromTheBrac Posted Friday at 10:10 AM Author Posted Friday at 10:10 AM So I finally tracked them down and as I thought, they're aftermarket "MAM 6" wheels, which are (not surprisingly) unavailable new any more. http://wayneswheels.net/MAM_WHEELS.html I really like the way they look on the car, 17's are plenty big enough for this style and they are almost identical to the TT/RS wheels of the time. 1
