Some of the early Omni/Horizon and Shelby versions used the 4x100
pattern also. The Aluminum Shelby rims were 15x6 with a 40mm offset.
Just for fun, I held one of mine up to the Bugeye and the 205/50 x 15
tires are about the same diameter (23.1") as the tires on the car! Might
be a bit wide, but looked cool as hell. The early 4x100 ones can be had
in the $20 each range. Early Neons also came with 4x100 pattern. Just
wanted to toss a few more options into the mix. Didn't measure the
center hub diameter.
