Help: Rims Identification

So I've been cleaning out my garage and have been selling parts, since I sold my last SA. But, I totally forgot I had these rims sitting on the shelf when I decided to change them to a larger size. Anyways... I'm trying to see if anyone has seen these on other cars or can even identify the model of these rims. I've tried looking online and couldn't find anything. I'm debating on whether I should keep them, if I decide to do another SA project, or sell them to fund another project. Overall, it would be nice to just know what I have since these were on the shelf for the past 7 or so years.

Any input would be great. Thanks.

I've seen a couple pictures of a set of these. The company name is Monza and the name of the wheel is unknown as far as I know.
They're rare but that doesn't trade into high dollar item especially since it's only a 13 inch wheel. They just don't make tires for them anymore.
Seen a set on a old R100 but I'm sure those wheels came later on then the car did.
I would keep them around. It would be more of a pain to try and unload them then put them on another car.

Lucky the previous owner had new tires put on before the sale if what you say is correct about the tire unavailability.
I guess another project is going to be in the works. I still have my Kamai front air dam too. Might as well use all the stuff I have left over.
Thanks

Well they do make tires but it's not as abundant like back in the day.
I had to order my 185/60/13 tires and I had to wait a week before I got them. :/
I want a Kamai air dam.

I wonder why no other company made a copy of this front end. It seems like there's still some demand.

I have a brand new one, but I keep holding onto it just in case I pick up an sa. With my current luck trying to find an fb I think I might have it for a long time.

Sorry to get off topic.

how deep is the dish, I might add it on to my wish list.
but I would paint mine black and leave the dish chrome, seems to be the look that best attracts me.

It's a 13x6 inch rim. I would put the offset somewhere around maybe 14.
