If it is 114.3 bolt pattern...and that center bore is large enough (which it looks like it is)...yes it will fit. There are other factors in wheel matching but if your just wanting a wheel that fits the Metro, that one will.

Ohhhh!!! I didn't realize you wanted to know what that wheel came from?

It is a 1995 - 1999 Hyundai Accent wheel...probably early 95 or 96 due to the oxidation present. The Accent wheel for these years are 4 x 114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1 mm center bore which translates close to your 2 1/2" measurement. The center bore, bolt pattern, design (the 12 little slots around the outer edge, etc) reveal this is most likely the same wheel. It was originally mounted on a blue dark base model with outer trim rings and a plastic center cap with Korean chrome acorn style lug nuts. It was used for a spare replacement for an early 90's Honda Accord (which did come with a 4 x 114.3 bolt pattern from 1990-1996) and then that car was wrecked (rear-ended at a stop light in Minneapolis, MN) at which time, it was towed to a towing service holding yard until it was sold at auction 2 years later. 2 of the original mates to this wheel were destroyed in the wreck, the other 2 found their way onto Craigslist and into the hands of the folks that gave it to their brother-in-law which used it until the tire blew out. It was picked up mistakenly by the Wednesday morning garbage service when the sanitation guys thought it was meant for toss-out because of it's proximity to the 2 brown plastic garbage cans on the curb.

Not sure where you found it...my records end at the sanitation service.

Oh yeah...one more thing...it is 112.5 mm wide...not from outer edge to outer edge but from where the actual bead of the tire sits on the wheel when properly mounted. This means if you measure the wheel's outermost width, it would be somewhat more than the 4.5" (112.5mm) noted.

The bolt pattern on honda is 4x100.
Didn't used to be. Some Accord wheels are perfect 14" upgrades for a Metro.

Suzuki has now made the same switch, newer Suzukis are 4x100.

You are close, davbell, but if you look on down on the Honda list for earlier Accords...they were 4 lug 114.3's for a few years in the early 90's. That is a good source as well as rimhelp.com.
