Can Anyone ID These Wheels?
Here a challenge for everyone. I've had these wheels for a while now and I STILL havent been able to figure out what they are. I'm getting ready to swap to 4x114.3 this spring and I'm trying to figure out what they really are as to figure out what they're worth.
They are 4x110, 15x7 +13et, and made in england. Other than that there are no distinct names or words to help me find out who made these wheels. Here are the pictures:
I refinished them last year so the stampings were more exposed, but there was nothing tell tale that showed up for me to tell what they are.
Any ideas?

I have a freind here locally that was willing to give me $550 for them, I'd love to get more than that since they seem to be pretty rare. But I have a problem asking for more when I don't know what they are.

Hit me up when you're ready to sell them, I did have dibs on them at one point remember? 
Possibly an old model of these, they struck me as extremely familiar...
The reason I suggest these is because I was searching a bit and was on this website - custom-wheels-rims-alloys.co.uk - Get Custom Rims Wheels & Alloys and the picture for the Alutec Kryo looked extremely similar but I found out that the website has their thumbnails screwed up so they're actually under the Alutec Java listing and the pic looks like this:
At this link Alutec Java 15x7
I just thought that they look like an older version of that rim.. best search I could come up with right now.
Hope the coming spring finds you well and I look forward to getting to meet up with you guys at Sonic on Wednesdays!

I have heard some rumblings of old Speedlines too.
I dunno if you know Tanner but he's in line as well lol. Maybe I'll just put some insane price on them and go OBO lol

They are a very rare wheel. Very expensive too and haven't been available a long time. My friend has a set but I forgot the brand right now. He paid 2k with tires had them shipped from Britain. The center caps have the brand name, I can't remember right now

That would be greatly appreciated. The wheels are on the car at the moment so they are not going up for sale for a little while anyways.
Could be, but none of the ones I've looked at seem to match up right.
No worries Austin, I wouldnt be asking that much haha.
My guess is an old school Compomotive wheels.

So the man I know who has a set of these bought them more than 10 years ago. He says he mailorder imported at the time they were the only 5 spoke wheel he could find for 4x110. Anyways he doesn't know the name of the company but the logo on the top caps is "DP" for (DP Motorsport), not Dynamic Performance. They sponsored a lot of Porche racecars.
What I think you got there is a little mysterious and very rare wheel

Those ones from the Starion/Conquest forum seem to be the correct wheels from what I can tell. The style seems to match up perfectly. He didn't have any idea what they are worth did he?

You just tied my find! I was going to post this link:
DP Motorsports Center Cap (498)
But they only have 1, and getting a matching set would be $200+
