Does anyone know who made these wheels? They have a manufacturer number, stamp, and size. They are 4 x 15.. They look just like an original smoothie but with slots. Original equipment manufacturer? There are no brake adjuster holes in between the lug holes, so they are not Porsche replacements. I'm thinking they might be old Empi after market wheels?

The logo looks like the old Rockwell International logo (the company that built the space shuttle). I remember reading something about them buying Western Wheel in the late 70s. I don't remember seeing anything about them making aftermarket wide fives but I suppose its possible.
