Wheels come in a huge variety. Between OEMs and the aftermarket, just about any design you can come up with has been tried. Traditionally, however, most wheels have a symmetrical spoke arrangement, in any number between three and half a zillion. And they fit nearly any vehicle, from four lugs (economy cars) to six and even eight lugs (heavy duty pickups).
But with all this variety, there’s one configuration I can’t find. After much racking of my brain, and an ongoing search of parking lots by both me and my wife, I can’t name a single wheel that has four spokes and mounts with five lugs. That’s where you come in. Today’s Encyclopedia Hoonatica task is to find me these illusive four spoke, five lug rims. Original equipment or aftermarket makes no difference.
The Lone Caveat: Pics or it didn’t happen. Actually, you CAN just name a car/wheel design by name, but it will be much more convincing if you include a photo.
Difficulty: Either this is really hard or I’m just a dufus. Rise to the challenge; awesomeness awaits.

do this count?? http://www.andysautosport.com/images/capital_wheels/cow-8045.jpg

If it does, then nearly every base steel American wheel since the early 50s counts.

Since J-cars were 5-lug…

And these Phatfux PF6

Is that a poorly-executed replica of the Toms Igeta, which actually has four twin spokes? Or is it a rare original design from a company that makes mostly reps?
I like the wheels, but can’t see buying anything from a company named Phatfux.

Wow. Those are the best-looking four-spokes I’ve ever seen.

These are ford 5 bolt with 4 spokes – found it online – they are clearly factory as Ford is stamped into them but I can’t for the life of me figure out from what model.

This is from a Ford Ranger

Sorry to detour the thread but I always wondered if there was a six bolt wheel that fit a three bolt smart car hub?
