New wheels, need ID help.
I just got these wheels from a fellow FB owner here in town. I have no idea what make they are. They are 5 spoke, 14x6.5 and 4x110 (I checked myself). They need a little rejuvenation but as a whole they are a huge improvement. Here's a few pics that might help. Thanks guys.

Thanks. I should have posted a pic with the stockers for comparison. Just need to get the RE-Speed coilovers so I can bring it all down about an inch. The rear looks kind of funny to me with so much more gap than the front.

I've only seen one, and that was the guy I bought them from. I'll be repainting them with black centres and polishing the lips soon, so they should look even better.

Thanks guys, I'm really digging them
Kentetsu, I'll be getting some Hankook Ventus R-S2 summer tires for them. Fairly cheap and the only really good summer tire I could find in a 14. The Falken RT-615 is available but has the same speed rating as the all season BFG's that are already on there, so whats the point really? I won't be hitting retarded speeds often, but I'd like the added security of knowing my tire isn't going to disintegrate the odd time that I do. Maybe with a better tire I can get her up over 200KM/h
Thanks Scott, but I really like the contrast a black wheel has with a silver body. I was thinking maybe a gunmetal or lighter colour too, I'll see what I find when I go get the paint. The look will change soon, since I'm currently using the stock lug bolts because the parts shop couldn't get screw in studs soon enough. I'll be using spacers in the rear, since they don't sit close enough to the fender edge for my taste and it looks odd with the fronts so far out. Should look pretty badass when it's finished.
Noticed on the way to work that the ride is much smoother on the highway, which is good since I do take a few long road trips each year, and it gets rather fatiguing bouncing over the pavement joints. Also takes more effort to turn the wheel at low speeds, but that just means an even better workout.
