Long shot, but I was wondering if anybody would know the name of these rims?

My beetle came with these and they look so good I would like to buy a new set or get a set similar to the look of these ones. Thank you for you feedback!!

You can polish them with a buffing pad on an angle grinder.
Drag racers like them because of their light weight.
What are the different widths of your wheels?

Centerline no longer makes these wheels and the cheap copies are twice the weight. A new set of Centerlines ran in the $1000 range. There are companies like CMS (custom metal spinning) that make similar light weight wheels but they are not as strong as true CL's

Here is a pair I had refinished this summer for my Bonneville race car 3.5"x15" Both were pretty beat up and ne was a satin finish to start with. These were the last wheels to come out of my friends shop before he sold it. Any decent wheel shop can do the same for you or you can spend a couple of days and DIY.
