Gotti C55 three piece wheels.

[neilrr]

Picked these up recently. Don't know much about them & there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on the internet. They have a date of 1987 on the inside but no ET # or PCD info.

The 5 together in the photo are all 16 x 12 inches, the 2 on there own are 16 x 11. Being the size they are & from that era I'd guess they were either on some sort of exotic supercar or used in racing, but that's just a guess. In the photo they've just been hosed off after sitting in a garage for 10 + years. I'd say they need the full take-apart-and-rebuild-refurb.

Anybody got any further info or can shed any light. They'll be for sale as they are way too big for my humble bangers & are a bit outre for a C250
DT.

Gotti's are fairly popular amongst the stance/wheel lovers crowd, an immaculate set seem to change hands around 1k. Not sure what these will fit though, 16s seem kinda small.

AFAICS 16" is as big as they made them before the co. was bought by Ronal & disappeared. Gotti Wheels (GBS)

Remember, these were made in the '80's & would have been considered huge at the time. They were certainly wider than just about any factory wheels.

I think I'm right is saying 560 SECs & SELs cam on 15s, Porsche 911s came with 15 x 9 as the standard wheels until '89, Lamborghini Countachs were on 14" wheels until 1978, LP5000s were on 15" wheels in 1987. Ferrari 512s were on 15", Testarossas were on 16s.

The monster size wheel thing is a pretty recent trend.

The ones I've seen have been later ones under Ronal's ownership then...17s and 18s.

They've got Jays Yellow W123 written all over them !!

Cue a W123 widebody project :lol:

I've seen these on a custom widebody SEC, not an AMG car more a Gemballa, Styling Garage or Koenig.

There was a horrible condition blue one that went through an auction, got tarted up and ended up on pistonheads at three times the price with shiny Gotti wheels.

The size of these would be about right for a custom SEC.

Yeah they look like from something like a Gemballa or Koenig widebody SEC i bet. Rare find i should think.

 

[trainer]

I can't think of a modern car they would work on without modding the car. With a burgundy centre they would have been great on my old Audi GTS Coupe

The "in" type wheel in the 70's and early 80's. Havn't seen any for ages

 

[neilrr]

I've seen a few pictures on google images of De Tomasa Panteras, Countachs & Maseratis with these on. They look great!

Does anyone know how to determine the offset of a wheel when there's no info on the wheel itself?

Wheel Offset Calculator

Yikes!!

I remember that car, what a tarted up dog, wonder where it ended up. IIRC the wheels looked tiny on that car.


Neil are these mercedes PCD? The bolt holes look large for a mercedes. Whatever they came off they are worth good money to someone.

Jay, it hasn't been determined what the PCD (or offset) is yet. I've got a retired maths lecturer friend coming around to figure it out. He lives for this kind of puzzle.

What car were your shiny Barock wheels on as original equipment?

 

[jaymanek]

they are custom made so not sure what they will fit!

 

[neilrr]

Well, after making a 'dirty' impression of the holes on a piece of paper I've figured out the PCD is 5 x 108.

They are Ferrari fitment

Probably off a Koenig, plus the colour would be Giallo Fly at a guess.

Makes sense.

Edit:- Not Koenig, He seems to prefer OZ or BBS.
