Merv,
     If you are speaking of the larger flat section being on the outside of
the rim, the two you have are GB/Corvan wheels. The three with the shorter
section are from other GM vehicles. Just a note, when demounting tires from
GB/Corvan wheels (those with the larger flat section outside) it is much
easier to demount on the backside of the wheels.
       Bob
