Default Can You Identify This Wheel??

Hi All,
Picked up a random FORD rim for a hose reel, after moving house and leaving an XD chromie for the new owners.
The ad said 'late 90's Failrlane', but am thinking earlier? NA Fairlane? Fairmont?

Looks identical to what came with the 1985 Ford FE LTD, minus the hub cap

It's from the DF LTD (based on the EF Falcon). DL had a different design wheel.
