These rims came with my Ghia purchase, no markings, can anyone help to identify? Rims not needed, would like to sell, want to make sure I describe correctly.
Thanks.

Interceptors from the 1980s. Forget who made them. Have them on my '76 Standard. Had a lot of trouble getting a set that was straight and would balance properly. Had to send several wheels back before I got a good set of four. They look good though.

Look again. Those are not Interceptors.

For reference- they're on sale new at CIP1 for $149 ea. http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C32%2DE28C
