Not long ago, we started a little series on Ran When Parked called “test your steel wheel IQ”. The point of it is to share our rather unorthodox passion for steel wheels, and see how good our readers are at recognizing them.
So, can you name the make and model that the following wheels come from?
In some cases we have blacked out the center caps because it would have been too easy to guess otherwise. Also, it should be noted that for a lot of these wheels there are several possible right answers.
Have fun, and thanks for playing along.

Correct on all accounts. A reader on Facebook guessed #5, it’s a Saab 96. No one’s gotten #2 yet.
Is #2 from an R5?
Nope, but on the right track.
As a hint for number two, here’s a better picture of it:

Yes, I took it home with me..! I collect steel wheels.
No. 2 is a Citroen GS/GSA? And yes, I am aware of the double meaning of that statement. Although the square centre makes me think it is from an earlier car. Or a Visa/2cv/C15..?
Number 2 is from a Peugeot 504.
