 Huh
The wheels could be from a later model Holden .I have 14" HT rims(black) on my FE wagon, which has HR front and rear and the stud pattern is the same,however the FE FC rims won't work on a disc brake front (I've been told and tried and they don't work) which leads me to think HT. They may well be a special make.Only the owner would be able to answer that. Hope that helps.

Cheers Rusty

Hi there,
Just to add to this thread....I am currently having some 14 inch rims made to suit the FC stud pattern and hubcap fitment....this is not as easy as it sounds apparently...had 2 sets made here locally in Adelaide which were sent back as the FC h/caps didn't fit...then got onto Stan at ALLSTREET TYRES in W.A  and it is happening now....a very nice chap who knows his stuff...and is helpful to mechanical idiots like me!

So I am putting in a recommendation for Stan....maybe costom alloys can be sourced the same way for stud patterns...at least there are no hubcaps to worry about..

Id say they are off a BMW or Volvo with the same stud pattern .
Be certain this can work before you decide to go down this path ...
There are still centre bore size matching , wheel offset clearances and wheel dimension issues with rego authorities and engineers .
