how old Wed Autobahns?

I just picked up a set of 14x6 wed autobahn rims..just wondering if anyone knew when they were last produced..to get a ballpark figure how old and how rare these rims are...

also...i was thinking would 205/60 be a good fit for these 14's?

Now that i look at mine, they are slightly different. Same size though 14x6. They have the old Falken Azenis on them right now (very worn) in 205/60R14 size I wish i could get them again, but they dont seem to make that size anymore. i was planning on running the Yokohama AVS ES100 in the same size, cause tire rack carries them. Either those or possibly the Falken Ziex ZE-512 from discount tire direct. The options are slim for 14 inch wheels anymore Sorry if the pictures are small, the file size restrictions made me shrink them down.
