Default Need Help Identifying Rims



These are my buddy's rims. They were "given" to him by a friend for his birthday a couple years ago and we've yet to find what they fit on or the actual name.

They just barely don't fit on my Eclipse which is a 5x114.3 pattern.

Don't know lol. He says his friend got them from an insurance company? Idk I never got the full story.

Is there any way to measure the rim somehow to find its pattern out?

They are stolen. He got them as a present because the "friend" who gave them was probably close to getting busted.

If they just barely dont fit a 114.3 they might have belonged to someone who drove a domestic econobox like a mercury cougar or a ford escort as those had a 108mm spacing. Or an older Olds alero / grand am / grand prix / type car had 115mm. Depends on how close it is a guess

cougars and escorts are 4 lug and the 4 door escorts dont have the same pattern as the contour/cougar do.
