After having a few people at pvs wanting to buy my irmscher wheels ive been trying to do research on the net to find the name of them. I know they are made by ronal and although they are rare wheels iv found some similar what are used on holdens in australia called 'irmscher hdt'.

Just thought id share this info with those of you that wanted a set.. if they could get them shipped over that is

quite remarkably, i was re-reading an old car magazine i bought a few years back cos it had an article about irmscher... and it mentioned them selling lots of alloys to holden back in '81

Iv just been looking on an australian website they have 19" sets over there and you can buy them brand new for $2600. Im trying to find a centre cap for one to fit 14 inch and no luck anywhere :(

send them a msg, you may be able to arrange your own courier to pick up, send it in English or use google translate to write your message in german

The wheels you have, I bought from ebay.de about 7 years ago. They cost £35 including postage to the UK!!! Wish I hadn't sold them, but I have my fave 80's Irmscher rims now on the Spider, 15" Spokes.

The set you have. I fact they may have been cheaper than £35. I was buying a lot of parts from Germany back in about 2005-2007. The exchange rate was good and Irmscher parts were quite cheap at the time. Poor exchange rates and more interest in the 80's parts has pushed the prices up massively.

Hm 35 pound is dirt cheap. Did you then sell them on to mitch ?

I think I swapped them with John H on here for some parts then he sold them on to Mitch
