Esty,

 

It's an upside down Grant.  Well, the pattern is upside down compared to several Grant wheels that I have.  The picture shows one in an E30.  The hole spacing is the same on mine but note that the 5th hole is centered at the top where yours is at the bottom.  Wheels like mine are marked "MADE IN ITALY" and sometimes have a XX/XX date code also on the back.  I've seen a handfull with dates and all were in the late 80's and early 90's.  Grant had a name for the series to distiinguish it from their older hub style, and they came in at least several different diameters, and were made from the usual materials- wood, faux leather, leather.  With painted, unpainted, and rubbery covered. There were a few in styles that haven't stood the test of time.  I've got one somewhere in champagne beige with an oddly shaped soft plastic center cover.  I can confirm the diameter of the center hole if you'll post what yours is. None of this answers the identity of yours with the inverted pattern.  Perhaps a southern hemisphere model!   I guess that if you could find a Grant hub it could be re-drilled with the inverted pattern and work OK.  Using it as-is won't let the turn signal cancelling thingie work, if the hub has one.  My E30 intall has a space between the wheel and a personal/nardi/?  hub that I picked up at a junkyard (can't recall exactly which pattern it was).  I drilled if for the hub pattern and drilled/tapped it for the Grant pattern and away you go...  There was just enough difference in the patterns to make the holes work without overlap.

I used an adapter to put my 5 hole on the 6 hole hub.

Here's one:

I don't recall the "5th" hole orientation. Seems like mine was at the top, also.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
