Those are typically called "Modena" in Japan.  There's a lot of rim manufacturers that make similar designs.  It was originally taken from Ferrari.

Yeah I was gonna say they look like the old school O.Z.'s they used to put on Ferraris. In fact I have an older poster of an F40 and it has almost that exact style of wheels.

Stern is a company that I specifically remember making that style. I think ROH is still selling one.

The Italian wheels in question were made by at least 2 different companies in the 70s-early 80s. The Ferraris used Campagnolo, and the other "everyman" cars like Lancia used Cromodora. I used to have a set of Cromodoras on my old Dastun Roadster. They were magnesuim and weighed only 10lbs. That is very light, even by today's standards. They were hot in their day. Most people who weren't around then just can't appreciate them.
