Kind of look like sportec's however they usually have the namr stamped into one of the spokes!

Thanks guys. After looking real close and comparing the Zehn's versus the Sportec's, these are definitely the Zehns. Very close in match but the neck of the spokes near out rim was different then the Sportecs.

I appreciate the help!

Victor wheels are made in China. Fit, finish and quality is pretty good. The bad part is that they weigh a tonne!!! Very easy to scratch the finish.

Difficult to photograph black cars well, but these were some of the best shots I've seen. The 'build' was an interesting read in the original thread. Notice the roof line is smooth... no weld seams.

I also loved the wheels until I saw the weights. Might be OK on a TT but on a NA car, no way.
