have you pulled them off to see if there were any stampings on the inside or any logos cast into the wheel?

Not Eps, they don't have the bolts that a multi-piece wheel requires. Maybe Weds, AutoBahns have the name cast in the center piece. Backside of wheel will tell more.

I think GSL is right they are rikens, but not really sure. I attached some pics of casting marks on the face of the wheel. Plus I totally forgot to take a Pic of the backside but in one of the casting pockets on the backside of the hub face there was a XS or SX cast in to it. Take a pic today or tomorrow.

GSL they came gold but they have been painted I could tell from the overspray on the backside of the wheel.

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the help everyone. Anyone know where I can get some riken caps or something that would fit.

GSL man you need to polish those wheels. The only down side is now I'm worried someone might steal them some night.

I know i realy do need to clean them up but theres just too much goin on with my 7 to worry about cleaning the wheels. I dnt get enough time to work on it. I worry about mine bieng stolen too thats why i invested in home security (shotty) I put way to much money into her to lose it to some punk thief and it has a lot of setnimental value (my first car).
