The look a little different to the typical Porsche steel wheels, especially those parts to keep the hubcap on - I've never seen those before. Any markings/part numbers on the back? _________________ Mike B. |

Hubcap retainers:
Here's some markings on the front of the wheel. The backs are super filthy, I'll have to power wash them to see anything.
11 61 Date code?
300C 300D Mercedes, maybe? When I Google Image all of this nothing remotely the same comes up.
614 2A
Unrecognizable logo
Any comments are welcome. BTW, they definitely are 15".

That logo is KPZ- KronPrinz, which is one of the two suppliers of VW wheels, (Lemmerz being the other).
It says: 300c, 300d. Which I would guess to be the big mercedes. Google for a image of a 1962 Mercedes wheel.
Got to be worth something to the right person!!
I found similar wheels recently, 15", big bolt circle. The turned out to be Saab 93. Didn't look like yours, tho.
