I've had these sitting around for a while, its about time I admitted i'm never going to use them for anything... Now on ebay hereThe markings in the centre of the wheel seem to suggest they are made by a company called Seral (if anyone knows different, let me know), they are 13" x 5.5j and ET38. The lad I bought them off had them on a Mk2 Polo, so i'm assuming they are 4x100. They had previously been caked in thick black paint (probably hammerite) and i've spent hours (and hours) stripping and sanding them back. I've got most of the paint off, but they are still rough in places and need finishing off. There is also some kerbing on them, but no horrific gouges. The wheels all have Nankang 185/60 tyres on them with varying degrees of tread, the one pictured has 4-5mm the others a bit less. Think they are all legal though. The wheels are in Lincoln.

I may be totally wrong but they look a little Italian, fiat maybe, so they might be 4x98 could be worth checking.

They are similar, but the Audi ones are more squared off. I've just been and measured them, and they are pretty much dead on 4x100 as far as I can tell. (using a metal ruler and a squinted eye). I'll try one on my Astra when it stops raining.

They could be, the finish on those is as bad as mine was before I stripped them. They are very similar, but i'm not so sure. Those Phonedials have 6-holes, my set has 8. Would they do a set with more holes? EDIT: I've found one of their original applications... I found this picture (and the brief explanation) hereCheers g40jon, i'd not have delved so deeply if you hadn't been so insistant they about what they were!

If they're off a Yugo they're going to be 4x98, aren't they?

If they're off a Yugo they're going to be 4x98, aren't they? I would have thought so too, but I put up a post on wheel-whores.com to find out what they were, and someone had seen a set that were 4x108, so they maybe were made with different pcd's? Here's a set on a VW Polo. (turns out these may be the exact set of wheels i have) I'm going to trial fit one on my Astra in the morning, just to check.

Right, i've tried these on my Astra this morning, and my wheel bolts aren't long enough to reach the holes. Great. The centre bore is slightly bigger than the Astras 56.1mm, so they were sat flat, but there is too much depth to the bolt holes to seat the bolts. The holes looked lined up as far as i can see, but i can't be definite without tightening them up.
So it looks like we're back to "possibly" 4x100. Dammit.
Veedubmaster: As i can't say for deffo that they are 4x100 are you still interested? I understand if not, and if you aren't, i might whack them on ebay instead..

Those are Yugo 65GLX alloys and are DEFINATELY 4*98.
Wobble bolts will allow 4*100 fitment (or sheer willpower and graunching them on)
