    15 years ago I had a set of these on my '80 Corolla SR-5. I'd never seen them before or since. Now a set has popped up that supposedly would fit my '79 RX-7. Anybody know what these are called?

    I call em cool and vintage, but no ideas about their actual lineage...

    Fiat X-1/9s had ones similar to the set on the right, Camorra, something like that. Not carerra, not camaro.

    Once you're 50 it's the second thing to go....

    Boy a set of oldskool wheels w/ a fat lip like that will certainly fetch a pretty penny in this current climate.

    I believe that they are American Racing Spectres.

    Is it the angle of the photo or are those lug holes ovalized?

    I have 5 of those with a MG Midget bolt patern. Except mine have no where near that much lip.

    Just thought I'd add that. No real info here.
