I don't remember the model
You may want to try your search here http://www.ronalusa.com/home.html but I did not see them even when I searched for the pre 98 styles. But you can email them and see if they can help you.

Actually I think those rims are one of the best looking ones for a FC. I had the silver R9's on my 87 sport.
Another cool thing is that the offset is actually 35 instead of the stock 40, so a 225/50-16 fits perfect, and even with the fenders.
The bad part is that she doesn't have the lug nuts, and the stock lug nuts are too wide to fit.

i just spoke with ronal and they told me that those wheels are over 15 years old ! i hope i can find a set for a good price . i dont know the wheels arent that good looking its just somethin about them that makes me want them to get that "rancid" raw effect i want . plus its different from what im used to seeing and usually different stands out .

Like I said, I loved the look of the silver R9 on my 87 sport (which was also the silver).
On mine I had the lips of the rim polished and the center silver, where the black is on those you posted.
You almost never see those rims anymore, and unlike most of the newer wheels, you can see the lugs, they are not hidden under some gay panel, or psudo racing hub.

ice do you know of any similar looking wheels ? the wheels im thinking about are the ALT Lite Speeds 16x7 . i dont know what they weigh in that size but in 15x6 all they weigh is 13.3 lbs . i can get them for $560 with 205/40/r16 tires . i wonder what i can get them for without tires . i need more than a 205 on a 7 inch wide rim . im gonna go to the alt website and see if they have the prices and specs . www.altwheels.com check em out tell me what you think . if i were to get them i think black powder coating will be in order . later ice

No, I haven't seen any others like that, recently. I actually bid on the wheels as well, before I knew you were bidding on them, I guess she sold them though since the auction ended early.
The other wheel that I have liked was the Kosei K1 racing:
