close, but no cigar. at first i thought they were HRE 640's, but those are SUV rims, and don't come in 19". i even took the car to HRE, and nobody there could ID the rims. i've checked a dozen websites, with no luck in finding a match...

I believe I have your answer...OZ Nova Modular Chrome, discontinued 6/2001.
I hope that's it! The only thing (which I can't see clearly) is the number of rivets on the rim that cause it to be the wrong answer.

you're right - they look just like a chrome Nova modular (but 19" not 18"), only with the rivets like on the Vela ST III (at bottom of page here: http://www.scracing.net/wheels_oz.htm )
sorry don't have a better picture - don't have the car anymore either. beautiful car, but ABC problems were very annoying!
the rims mystery continues...
btw - looking forward to the launch of your new site!

looked around some more - and found a perfect match with the Racinghart Type-C2, except that the holes around the center cap are different...

def. not Racing hart....the RHs have caps, not exposed lugs.
I'm going to say it is a japanese made wheel because of the DDC rim flange and the large number of bolts (Japanese like to do that). I know it's in one of my books, but I have so many.
BTW Thanks!
