Default What Kind of Wheel is This

I bought these rims for a friend and they didn;t have any center caps and for me to order the center caps I have to know the manufactuer does anyway have any clue of the make and model of the wheel. The size is 18/8.5 if it helps any.

No idea but am I seeing that right. Are the holes touching each other? If they are that looks like it was drilled by someone else other than the manufacter and I would be very careful riding on those. Figuring the stress factor and the weight of the car the lugs could slid out and than your going to have a loose wheel.

You had me scared for a second but they are not touching btu from the pic it looks like it but i had them professionally mounted and he said the wheel was made for 2 different lug patterns so they fitted perfect on my 97 Eclipse Spyder.

Are they on your car now? If so can you take another clear picture because I took that picture and brightened it up to see if they where spinners or something. It is all one piece and still looks like someone else drilled into the wheel to make a new lug pattern. This is not good by the way it looks like they drilled because they are way to close to each other....

the only way i woudl trust a dual pattern like that is if they had some sort of reinforced sleeving in the holes...prophet is right...i hope youre not thrashing those wheels much...

Yeah I would never drive with wheels like those. No way.
