What P slots are these??

[dubs]

I have been trying to gather a set of mk1 campaign P slots and got offered 1 with 3 centres over the phone, guy said it had Pirrelli written on it and centres were stamped Pirrelli so i did deal over phone, they were dropped off at ma house and ma wife paid him, I get home and find this strange P slot and 3 caps, i have never seen these before, they are dated 1985??? 14" aluminium centres and large Ps, here is some pics, anyone know what they are off??cheers

Width? 5 1/2 x 14??
Looking at the shape of the wheel - they bow outwards yes?? - it could be a very unusual wheel that Pirelli made as an aftermarket wheel in addition to the VARIOUS 'flatter' faced 6 x 14 and versions VW fitted to some mk1 and mk2 Golf GTI's plus the 86-87 Scirocco GTX.
I have seen photos of these on a Lancia show car back in 1986 for example.
There was also a 6 x 15 P wheel issued back in the day too that the wheel-whores crowd go wild for, only set on here i think is owned by Lenny125/Glen.

As I understand it the Mk1 Golf Campaigns have less 'P's' than the wheels fitted to later cars as standard too.

Hope that helps?

I believe these are the earlier style Pirellis as they have 8 p's instead of the more common 9. Are they 14's or 15's as the 15's came with those centre caps and 8 p's.

Pretty sure these are the aftermarket ones as GTXTRA says which were made by Pirelli.

I believe the MK1 Campaign ones have 9 p's but there should be only a 7mm gap between the P's rather than the more usual 10mm of the later more common vw fitment.
