Yes! But Diplomats were never exactly plentiful on the roads in the first place.

Look like Lotus Carlton alloys to me.

to the untrained eye may be but they are too thin think they are from carlton diamonds and diplomats and early omega b's

Allways surprised that they didnt do an offside and nearside set of alloys for the LC.

On the offside the look like the wrong wheels, nearside looks right.

They look like Azev " A"'s to me, I had some on a BMW E30 a few years back.

No, I'm wrong they're similar though, these are Azev A

Nope - only the Diplomat. The Diamond was a six spoke with a slight dish and it also got fitted to some early Omegas but which model escapes me now.*

I had the 14 inch of the Diplomat wheel on my astra cesaro and that was made by Ronal.

* mini-facelift gls???
