I'm looking to purchase center caps for my winter wheels but I don't know the name brand of these wheels.

Are there any casting marks on the back side of the wheel?
 
Oof those look redrilled even.... yikes....

they haven't been re drilled, there just meant to fit more than one bolt pattern. they say 4x100, 4x114.3, 5x100 and 5x114.3 on the back.
 
I would not trust that minimal amount of metal between the holes. @Nix @Dar-Dar or @ethlar may know better as they are the resident engineers.
 
the pattern looks like one of those "universal" setups to fit 4 and 5 lug at multiple sizes, havent seen a wheel with them in a long time, probably a reason for that
 
Those holes are way too close from each other.

How multiple lug pattern wheel should look like

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Their are many universal rims out there with the same setup so I cant imagine it being dangerous.

I could be wrong but I don't think that Volk makes multiple lug patterns. They do that design to loose weight and for looks.
 
That looks like a home job redrilling though. If you notice on the multiple pattern "universal" rims the holes are all drilled in such a way that there is space between each lug hole. The ones on the wheel you posted are nearly overlapping. Most of the images you posted also look like home jobs as well.

I would not trust those wheels with the radius of the holes overlapping but do what you like. Aluminum also has a poor stress memory. I would not trust an extra hole put in already thin metal to hold up. People do things all the time that aren't necessarily safe and get away with it. When something does go wrong the outcome will be very bad.

This is proper spacing for a dual patten wheel. Lots of space between each hole and they don't compromise the center ring.

You might be right Chief.

Those examples are also all cheap cast wheels made by god knows who. Just because "many" wheel companies do it, does not make it a good practice.

You can feel free to rock them. It's your car and no one can stop you. It's just a friendly warning of something you may want to keep an eye on. Especially since those look like they are going to see winter abuse.
