well heres a set of wheels i got. i have no friken clue what they are. they are 16s. around 9.5/10 inches wide. unsure of the offset. im not sure how to calculate it. they also have two 4-lug patterns. but they arent universal. both patterns fit a 4x114.3 pattern? my friend thinks they could be a set of truck rims? like an 8 lug chevy or something because of how wide they are.

i can get better pics if need be
They look like old school cragar wheels. And I am not sure if they are truck wheels, they look like a dual bolt pattern wheel. Hope this helps!
Here's yet another set that i need ID'd. These aren't BBS RF's apparently,but they ARE BBS rims. Any help?
4x100 14x6.5 +33 BBS ?'s
& where could i get centercaps?
These are BBS RD's, which are the one piece versions of the RF's. They come in 15's as well as 14's, so be careful when you're on the hunt for center caps. Also make sure you get RD ones as they snap in (like RM's) unlike the RF caps that screw in (like RS'). As far as finding them, good luck. There weren't alot of these wheels made to begin with, let alone in 14's. Best bet is to hunt ebay and as many European automotive forums as you can. Praying every night might not hurt either
They're 15x7 with a +25 offset. Not sure of the PCD, though I suspect 4x100 or 4x114.3. Date stamped on wheel is "85".
It appears that the RA's that come on late 80's Jetta's were 15x6.5.
So my question is...what car did these come in?
Help is appreciated.
I was never sure exactly what these came on, but I'm pretty sure they were for European Mk2's or E30's. Given the offset, I would tend to lean more toward the BMW, as their wheels usually run in the low to mid 20's, and VW wheels don't really get much under mid 30's. Regardless, I know they were a European wheel, and never offered in the US as an oem unit.

Interesting. The seller of the rims noted that they came on his mid 80's RX7, but haven't been able to confirm this. Thank you for the help thus far.
