Any idea of where these were made and what they are worth for a set of four?
Thanks in advance! |

| Smiths wheels were made in South Africa and were made to fit almost any car the company went under a few years ago and was sold off at auction . |

... IMPI hit the nail on the head.
Those are Interceptors ... made by Smith's wheels ... from South Africa. From what I heard, they were so damn close to Empi 8 spokes that Empi threatened to sue (or did). Regardless, they stopped making them.
It took me forever to find a complete set (my car came with just the back 2) and some missing center caps; however, after much checking around the classifieds here, I found them! I have them on my car now (this photo is a tad old, you can still see a missing center cap in the front). They are nice, sturdy wheels and have a decent amount of chrome on them. I made my own decals for the caps.

I have a set I'd like to part with. Recently removed them from my '66 Ghia.
