Title: Any Info about Alcan BRM Alloy Wheels ?
Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on February 15, 2016, 22:33:28 pm
Today I bought a set of Alcan BRM Alloy Wheels. (Firestone BRM)
They are 5,5x15" and have bolt circle 4x130.
They seem to be pretty well known for british cars in different sizes.
Itīs very difficult to find Information about the VW Version.

May someone here at the Lounge knows more?

I`d like to find out when they were made and how many have been made.

cheers,
Tobi

I was told they were aluminium but I`ve to check it.

There are Numbers on them, but Iīll have to clean them to read.
"ALCAN" & "51/2x15" I could find on them too.
