Several manufacturers made that style wheel in the 90's. Cragar, Prime, Eagle Alloys to name a few. If you remove the center cap and you find black paint around the lug nut area then I would say they are Eagle wheels (if it vibrates a fair amount their definetly Eagle lol)
Value isn't going to be alot since they weren't that expensive when new. I think we used to sell the Eagles for $89 a wheel and the Cragars were around $100-$110 each

Here is a link for American eagle, seems they still make the wheels I used to sell. Seeing your close up photo I think yours might be american racing or cragar based on the outer lip.

The Prime wheel looks very much like that but the center cap while shaped the same did not lock (or a least on the 16x9.5" C4 version).I don't see a lot of resale value here either.
