I asked this question also more than a year ago, I maybe some new people have an idea.

I have been told these are early JD race rims, (they came on a 1956 karmann ghia pan) but hope somebody can confirm this

I have three of these, so I 'am looking for a forth to make a set and use them on a car.

Strange, the JD race wheels I seen never had those oval holes, it was solid.
