I'm cleaning out the garage and I've got two sets of wheels that don't fit anything I own so I should send them down the road.
Exhibit A is a set of 16 inch wheels from a 2001 Focus ZX3. They're whatever the stupid Focus bolt pattern is. 4x102.5 or something idiotic. If you're wondering if they fit your car, just ask yourself if you have a focus. If the answer is no, then they won't fit. They have tires on them. They probably hold air, but they're 13 years old, so I'm not sure I'd drive a terribly long way on them. I might have center caps, but I doubt it.
Exhibit B is a set of 14 inch wheels that fit turbo dodges and probably anything else that's the 5x100 that I think they are. I will say that they're too small to fit over the big brakes that are awesome on the TD's. I tried. They came with a rally Omni that I got. They were rally wheels. They're straight, but ugly. As a bonus, they come with genuine Michelin rally tires from the Paleolithic. I expect that any attempt to drive on them would result in them rapidly turning to some form of cancer causing rubber dust. They might not. The might still be awesome.
Price? Well, if you fill in any number to the left of the decimal point I'll consider it a fair price. More numbers are always better, but even a 1 is enough. Really? Shipping? Nope. I'm not that motivated to get rid of them. Having said that, I'd drive anywhere within about two hours of Houston just so I didn't have to look at them. I also go to San Marcos to rallycross and that's reasonably close to San Antonio or Austin. I also rallycross in New Orleans some times, so they could hitch a ride there, or I'll be up in Tulsa in a bit for the rallycross national championships.
The only thing I ask is that if you take them, you plan on using them for something. Me passing on basically free wheels just so you can sell them isn't cool. Not cool at all.

Focus are 4x108. They will also fit a Peugeot 405, early Volvo 850 and some 80s Audis.

+'88.5-'93 Saab 900. I dig those VW 14s, wish I had something they fit on. EDIT: 5x100... not VW, what the hell are they?

Still fit vw, just VR cars don't usually run 14"s.

4x108 or 4x4.25 is very common on US and European vehicles. It's only with the popularity of 4x100 that it seems odd.

Would you be willing to ship? My Saab 900 could do with some wheels.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

Not willing to ship right now, however, I notice you're in Michigan, and with that, you're in luck. I'm back and forth to Michigan several times a year and there is almost certainly room in the truck for them. Send me a message and we can try to sort something out.

All Saab 9000s, first generation Escorts/Lynxs/EXPs/LN7s, and Contours/Cougars/Mystiques as well. If you were local, I'd take 'em.

FWIW, I think those Firehawks were the OEM tires for the zx3......Those 16's are decent wheels too.....a bit soft for potholes, but yea.

They were the stock wheels and tires from my 2000 ZX3. They weren't bad, but back in the day the 15 inch wagon wheels were the hot setup so I picked up a set. They went with the car when I sold it to my brother because 15 inch tires were cheaper and he's incredibly cheap.
I'm predicting the next thing after stance is going to be the faux rally look. All those stance kids will be scrambling for beat up 14's. Someone should jump on that bandwagon before it's even a bandwagon.

If the offset wasn't all wrong, they'd probably fit my old Ford Capri.
