Default Can somebody identify these rims?

Hi,
I want to sell some rims that are now in the way but need to know what they are:

And has anybody got any idea what they're worth?
TIA

Those look like Ronal R-1001 but I have no idea what they are worth. I guess they are worth whatever someone will pay for them.

burners, thanks for the reply. I pulled the Vette logo off of one of the center caps & written underneath was "Western". I've just searched the Net for Western wheels & all I found was that they went bankrupt a few years ago :(

If the company went out of business then you can label the wheels as "vintage" and "rare". You should be able to get all kinds of money for them. :D Good luck.

They do look similar to Gotti's.........
Are they 1-piece or 3 piece (like Gotti's)
If they say Western on the back, then I'd say they
are Western's cheaper version of the Gotti !
