^no, I believe they're from a gencoupe.
also, running 4 lugs is safe. 4 lugs is minimum!
I have a stripped stud and have been running 4 lugs for over 2 years. and I do plenty of high speed accelerating and braking test.

It says:
Note: Buddy Club Wheels are priced as a set of four
no joke, a couple years ago, some dude posted about how his friend helped him change his suspension.
they forgot to tighten up the lugs and off he went!
he didnt make it very far and the wheels came off damaging the body, suspension and other components.

Also, from another forum....
"Hey guys, I've got a 98 1.8T. I've had a k04 and chip for a while and wanted to get more performance. I was recommended to port and polish the intake and exhaust. We found out they used abrasive material to do it like gritty sand. So I got with my friend that tunes Hondas and we decided to try it ourselves. We got a bag of sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car. We had to hold the gas so it would run. He wanted to let the engine suck in the sand through the intake so it would port it out and then push it out the ehxaust so it would port the exhaust manifold.
I was worried that it might cause problems but he figured it'd be OK as long as we didn't make boost and it get sucked in the turbo. After running the car and letting it suck in sand we got about half way through a 25 lb bag. The check engine light was on and the engine was bucking and kicking and sounding really weird. We stopped and hooked the car back up normal and took off the sand supply. We tried to start it again and it was really hard. Once started it couldn't idle and kept making weird noises. We took it out and drove it and it started to make scraping and knocking noises.
Help! Can anyone tell me what to do! My buddy only does Hondas so he doesn't know much about Audis."

I tried looking and spent more than 10 mins doing so...
Cant remember the title.
anyway, me being the straight up asshole that I am, was calling him out on mistakes made.
anyway, it turns out that they just simply forgot to tighten the lugs.
the matter was complicated further because the young noob paid for the suspension install.
anyways, I always make my friends sign an agreement before ever setting foot in my garage.

Just that from the pic itself, it looks like the lugs make-up a square pattern. I'm pretty sure the other lugs are hidden/covered by the wheel
Could they even make you leave? Were you breaking any laws by being there? Being loud/firing guns/doing coke? I assume it was a public place and you are allowed to meet with friends.
They made us leave because they said there was a dog (no sign saying no dogs and there were dogs in previous years' gatherings) and smoking (no one smoked). Wouldn't even let us hang out in the parking lot after taking down the canopies. 5 years of the same event and this was the first time cops even showed up. They prob saw too many Asians gathered in one place and freaked out.
One day...

I know a few people with e30s... if its a project car and not a daily it's fine really.
