            very nice, id like to see them painted and polished :) any 4 lug sets you wanna sell me? lol

              i cant find the post, saw it yesterday, of these exact rims on a vintage racer. someone outside the us posted it. wait... maybe it was from inside the museum...

              You can tell they have had good use on a legit race car because the center bore is scuffed from the center lug.

                    I actually don't know. Definitely an old eXX model, but its weird to see them with the centers sandwiched in the middle.

                    Wheel-whores is your best bet for this one.

                        It look like BBS Mahle but those wheels' not 3 pieces.

                          lemme know. i'm really getting interested in these wheels. From what i've heard they were on that enduro mustang which was on the cover of some magazine and they only painted two of the wheels that white color for it...which sounds about right.

                              5x108 is a volvo, Jag and Ford bolt pattern. My guess is they were on an older Jag. IIRC there should be specs stamped on the back of the wheel that tell you the diameter and width.
