	Hi Grizz. Google lens has them as Elysée' 15 inch alloy wheels for a Renault Safrane.

	Thank you vulgalour and tubthumper Now to figure if they will fit early VW Golf’s and Polos They seem quite flat, rather than the usual steelies etc.

	I wanted to put some Renault wheels on my Mk2 Polo years ago and I have a vague memory I couldn't because the Renault had a smaller centre bore and I didn't want to get them machined. I might have remembered wrongly. Wouldn't hurt to check that anyway.

I might have remembered wrongly. Wouldn't hurt to check that anyway. This is correct. I put a set of Renault wheels on my Mk2 Golf about 10 years ago. I used a dremel to open up the centre bore (oh to be young and stupid again..)

	I guess it is one of those, despite the look and liking the idea of making them two/three tone that having to “engineer” them to get it right, precludes any further thoughts about them. Sadly.

Have you ever seen a Safrane? I have, and it wouldn't start. Ever again, because the timing belt was broken.

	www.wheel-size.com/size/renault/safrane/1992/ Info says 60.1mm Vw 4x100 is 57.1 Spigot rings would work or a small 3-5m non hubentric spacer. Lots of vw guys run 16" steelies (get 4 spares from Megane Scenics)

	So, as a non wheels type guy, not ever able to differentiate between PCD, Offset and Lug Nuts vs Lug Bolts (Joking on the nuts and bolts) Are these compatible with rings? VW Center Bore / Hub Bore: 57.1 mm Bolt Pattern (PCD): 4x100 Wheel Fasteners: Lug bolts Thread Size: M12 x 1.5 Wheel Tightening Torque: unknown TIRE RIM OFFSET RANGE mm Tire Pressure (front / rear) bar OE 185/60R14 82T 6Jx14 ET38 36 - 40 2.1 Renault Center Bore / Hub Bore: 60.1 mm Bolt Pattern (PCD): 4x100 Wheel Fasteners: Lug bolts Thread Size: M12 x 1.5 Wheel Tightening Torque: 90 Nm TIRE RIM OFFSET RANGE mm Tire Pressure (front / rear) bar OE 185/80R14 91S 5.5Jx14 ET50 48 - 52 2.5 2.3

	Someone will probably shoot me down but if those are the dimensions from the vw/Renault then don't you just need these chinesium spigot rings from the bay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151342046032

Someone mentioned that as an option. Thanks for the posting as well.
