I bought these a while ago on Craigslist. The guy didn't know what car they were from, just that they had snow tires on them. The distinguishing feature is the flaring on the holes around the rim. Nice thick steel too. You can see I bored out the centers to fit on the van.
I haven't been able to find these again - I need one more for a spare. Anyone have any leads on where I could find one or what they were off of?

Hmm I see they make wheels for VW, Porsche, Audi, and a bunch of others.
I'll shoot them an email, maybe they can ID the vehicle it's off of. Any other ideas?

That "33 over 89" makes me think they were made in the 33rd week of 1989....maybe. I think stock Vanagon steel wheels are numbered the same.

You may need to narrow the list. What other cars use 5x112? Then look at pictures of them. There used to be a book used in wrecking yards, which I forget the publisher, that had pictures and matching applications. I bet this is on line now or you can google and find the name of the company. It was a unique sort of name. Hollister or Holland guide, maybe?????
Here is a link to an online cross reference as an example:

Happy hunting
