Hard to say isn't it? My guess is stock VL Calais mags, which means that he would be running 5 bolt hubs (due to a diff upgrade) which are probably needed, seeing as it say's that it has a 13B in it. But as i said, only a guess.

I think you'll find if you look back through some old, old ROH catalogues, you'll find that very same rim.
Alfa Romeo's had a four stud pattern similar to Cortina which was 4.25" PCD, not 100mm PCD of the Gem.
What Mooch is thinking of is the Aero rim from the VK Brocks.
Actually with all Brock cars the owner could option whatever they liked on the car originally if you were prepared to pay for it. Most common was the Aero rim which either had a centre cap that left the nuts exposed or one's that didn't.
Some more useless information from JAFO.
