what wheels are these?

So I took these wheels off of my 1980 Mazda RX7 fb parts car And I can't seem to find what they are they are. So if anybody knows how to identify these wheels or they know what these wheels are and possibly where I could find them please let me know.

To me they look like vintage Enki wheels. They are beautiful and period correct either way. I'd clean them up and use them.

I would use them but the issue is I only have 3 since the last owner of the parts car lost the other one
Hints why I'm looking somewhere I can buy them.

Check out the way the spokes meet in the center and make a snowflake-looking pattern. Now check out this Volks Racing mesh wheel.
