ID these wheels please. . .

I bought a set of 3 wheels from a friend in hopes that he is gonna find the 4th in his garage. either way, i only payed 30 bucks for them. He said they are stock rx7 t2 wheels but i cant find anything about them. they are staggered offset of 15x7 font, and 15x8 rear. any insight would be greatly appreciated.

yea thats what i was thinking. he swore by it, but ive been looking at different stock wheels for like 3 days, on all platforms available in all countries and its not happenin. theres no center caps for stamps anywhere that say a brand name. but theyre super light and pretty clean. i guess if he doesnt find the 4th in his garage i can make my money back in aluminum scrap

They are 100% defenately NOT stock wheels from anything let alone an Rx-7. They look like old school Cragar wheels or something of that 80's, 90's era from Pep Boy's, Treadquarters etc. Whats the marking say on the rim face? Anything stamped on the back sides? Just personal opinion, but I wouldn't put those on an Rx-7, they have more 70's muscle car feel to them, but are too narrow for even that. Throw them up on eBay, I'm sure someone somewhere wants those and is missing 1 or 2.

the stamp on the face says "15x7" on the fronts and "15x8" on the rears. I wasnt sure if i wanted to fut them on my fc or not, and i had intended on selling them, but looking at them, they have a really nice offset and im thinking they would be pretty close to flush. theyre light as hell too. i havent had a chance to look at the backsides for a stamping or anything theyre pretty dirty still.

just out of curiosity, and figured this is a long shot since we've established these are not rex wheels, but does anyone know what they are? have you seen them before? no labels anywhere or stamps of a logo. just seem like generic wheels.

thanks
