i have looked and all it says on the rim of the wheel is made in usa. there is a sticker but i couldnt tell what it said due to a century of brake dust caked on and it wouldnt come off without tearing the sticker lol

Are you 100% sure they're not 4x108? That would be close enough to fit, but would be real bad news down the road.

From what I have read during researching the interwebs, they appear to be American Racing Vector wheels.
