Default What motor did my rims come from?

I've got a set of rims, the nothelle ones which were on my sierra, but now I want to know what car they may have come off of as I have a potential buyer

They have a 5 x 112 boot pattern and the standard ford 61.5mm bore (or it might be a 63.5mm bore, they bolted straight onto my sierra so whatever the standard ford fitment is)

I was told they came off of a corrado so did they run the same wheel pcd?

Cheers

Bedridden with a bad back mate

But google nothelle n and you'll see the ones I've got

8x17 I think they are, or maybe 8.5x17 and running an et45 offset

This is not a for sale post as I have a potential buyer, I just need to know what car they may have been fitted to as all the vw stuff seems to be running 16's and 4x100

They weren't factory fitted to anything, aftermarket jobby.

I love those sort of things, got a terrible soft spot for 3 spokes

Especially the old Advans!
