Though I know most people may not be interested in these wheels at Rennlist, I thought there might be a slight chance someone would find these an interesting project as they closely resemble Phonedials, but are 3-piece.
Short of it is, they are Work Autostrada Monzas. A limited quality are circulating the US, specifically, 18" sets and these wheels are ripe for the rebuilding. They can come with almost everything you'll need to get started.
Background on the wheels...
I purchased them from a guy in California who had the wheels rebuilt by Rotiform. When rebuilt, Rotiform reused the OE barrels, but did not use OE lips. Furthermore, Rotiform no longer custom fabricates OE style lips for these wheels. I bring this up because these wheels are meant for a barrel valve stem configuration. If you notice in the pictures, you can see the OE barrels are tapped for this setup, but currently the valve stems are located in the lip.
Another item that should be noted is that Rotiform installed the assembly bolts when building these wheels which may or may not have been over-torqued. Some of the bolts sheared off, but I replaced all broken bolts and re-torqued all bolts to proper spec. Before these wheels are driven on, another close inspection of the bolts would be a good idea. Otherwise, I recommend fully tearing them down to completely rebuild. If you need assembly bolts, I have plenty to sell with or without.
In terms of the condition of the faces and barrels - the faces could use a respray and the barrels should be refinished. I have noticed the powder on the faces have discolored a bit in storage. As for the lips, they could use re-polishing, but overall have no rash or bends, just a few nicks from occasional use.
Lastly, there are only 3 of 4 Center Caps being sold with these wheels and one of them has a tab broken on the back. This is how I received them.
Purchased ECS Hubcentric Rings to be sold with or without the wheels. They've never been out of their packaging.
The tires have been taken off the wheels. They are no longer for sale.
