So what do you call these wheels
I found this ad and an interesting take on these Porsche wheels
http://newhaven.craigslist.org/pts/1800410176.html
I've got 4 used wheels, porsche "trash can lids", 16" ET65, 5x130 I believe, currently with old dry 225x55 tires. Maybe they are good, but clearly need re-finishing, don't let the photo fool you, make no mistake, they need refinishing. All true, almost no curb marks, holding air despite the dry rot tires. Call and make an offer, local pickup please, I prefer not to ship. (860) 739-8753 or email meldavey at gmail dot com.
I have always called them flat wheels , but i have heard manhole covers used as well

Manholes is how I refer to them. Never heard Trashcanlid though.

I imagine there is a very small and un-thriving market for trash can lid wheels...
Even if you liked the wheels - I imagine this description would put you off
Probably this is his extra set of wheels "for racing" that he wants to keep - but that the wife has said must go - that's the only thing that makes any sense to me...

How about a set of staggered trash can lids, or polished staggered trash can lids.

A quick Google of "sewer lids" reveals their true identity: https://www.google.com/search?q=sewe...w=1511&bih=727
