Complete known manufacturer wheel list?

'Evening all
I was recently about to respond to brinkie about wheel types, when I got thinking, there is a type of wheel that I really like, but simply cannot find a picture of. it is similar to the one used on the crash test cars, and was on a car I saw on Gumtree a while back
The wheels I like are the Pollux, Taurus, this mystery wheel and the Pictor/Canis, I sort of like the Vesa
I very much dislike the Celeb wheels, too curvy for such a wedgy car, and whatever the one are on the early 90s base model, as can be seen here: https://i0.wp.com/www.motoringresearch. ... C687&ssl=1
but these mystery wheels are very elusive: They are rare in the UK, i think they were only for '87-'88, as the car I saw them on was an E-Reg, they seem to be a rounded square, surrounded by a circle that makes up the rim, I do not think they are hubcaps, they seem more like alloys.
Can anyone help with my query? I do not wish to cause offence, I have no issue with the mounting of wheels that I dislike, but I would like to know why, for instance, Celeb wheels are a popular styling choice for earlier cars.
I do also know that there is an accessories section on the main site, but my login that works on here, does not work on there, so I am unable to reach it.
Many thanks
Ben
