I'm trying to figure out what wheels are on my Caddy but having no luck I think they are made by Dub and they are also split rim but not sure if there would be any markings in the back of the wheel that would help me track them down?? There are Two reasons for this..

1) I need a spare wheel (And I like them to match )

2) If one gets damaged like whats happened to my brothers Subaru,s alloy wheel after he hit the mother of all pot holes I need to be able to find a matching replacement as I dont think the highways dep would replace the full set
Any advice most welcome I will post a better Picture tomorrow.

I'm assuming you'd keep that at home as it won't (I'm guessing) fit in the spare wheel well ?

Can't see the pic - will have a look later at home.

Wow, that's looks sweet on those!

Sorry no help identifying them though. Dare I say go to a Barry boy forum, or a modifiers forum as there will more than likely be someone who could spot them a mile away.

After the ordeal my friend went through last year after hitting a pot hole, don't hold your breathe getting anything from the council or HA. absolute disgrace the way our roads end up.

Especially as the roads see little or none of the "Road" tax.

19's I think hang on I'll go have a look

euck It's extremely wet out They are fitted with Yokohama tyre's that are  245x40xR19x95Y so I would guess they are 19's I will take one off on Sunday and have a look for any more clues

After looking through hundreds of DUB 19" wheels I'm not sure that they are DUB, because yours just look too plain

Really need better photo's of the close up and some off set dimensions

As most of those cars seem to be Jap imports they're more likely a Japanese brand wheel I'd have thought...

I shall get a better picture at the weekend and will remove one of the wheels and see if I can find any info in the back part of the rim... I did find a wheel but Its not a dub wheel?

This is the one which looks close but no cigar LOL  its not split rim and its made by Borbet



This is a closer look at mine  I know its a bit dirty

looks like a 'split look' rim, and although I cant find an exact match, the styling looks more like Ronal to me, def. not dub

Ronal make many US fitments, especially for GM's

He still had the green one with white leather interior when I went looking last year for a new car....But I think it has a piston ring gone as she smokes quite a bit when it started up... I liked the look of the blue one when I brought Wendy's ( dragon) Camaro about 4 years ago

And my wife's Camaro....tis a small world really
