[dhallilama]

have had them on 2 cars in the past, and now my current volvo...
yet can find out nothing about the company. assume they're gone...
these are the 15x7 on my car now:

i had a pair of 15x8.5 a few years back... which i'd love to have again... but haven't found any on evilbay, or anywhere else... actually haven't found ANY cheviot wheels...

they're one piece, rather lite, apparently durable (i've abused the hell out of them on this car, and on another), not hub centric (need rings/spacers)... the offset is a little tight (dont know what it is offhand, but without spacers the tire is about 1/16" from the strut tube)...

anyway, googling has gotten me nowhere...
anyone know of 'em?

Cheviot wheels are quite popular in Australia.

They are quite common here on older cars, we had a set on a '77 Cresseda once, and they're very common on '70's 240's in 14" sizes.

decided to clean them up and sell 'em (with the nearly new tires)... or trade for something of interest...
picked up a set of 17" TSW hockenheims for it (gonna convert to 5x4.75 and push 'em as flush with the fenders as possible + pull the fenders some)
