Anyone recognize these rims? I picked them up for what I would of paid for the tires on them, in fact I was just looking for a set of tires when I saw them. I may use them on a beater early 60s Beetle, was just wondering if anyone had a idea of the brand as I dont see any marks on them. Thanks for any ideas

EMPI "style". Look on the backside for some markings.

Look like American Eagle to me. Cap different though. They are’nt marked. I hate weights like that on custom wheels

Any EMPI retailer should be able to get those. Super common.
