Someone posted rims like this here before. I searched but couldn't find them. I don't know how rare they are but they are pretty neat.

If anyone ends up being interested in them if you want I'll go pick them up and help with shipping.

Hmmmm. They have are 4-bolt rims. I wonder if its a 4" bolt pattern. If so, they would look greaton my tear. And Providence is only a hour away from me.

They came from a 16 Valve Scirocco (mid-late 80's vintage), so they are 4X100 bolt pattern. I was going to buy a set for autocross tires. They are the same bolt pattern as my Honda.

4" equals approx. 101.6mm, I would guess that it's close enough that the wheels would fit a 4x4" hub, anyone know for sure?

Those alloy are nice but on most of the newer cars have got a lot of setback on the wheels to make room for the disk brake calipers. My daughter gave me three nice ones from a jeep they had 8" of setback would have to extend axle and move spring pads to use them.had to go with older ford wheels with a 3 1/2"setback.

Happy camping Jim
