Those look like western wheels or american racings, there were several like these on the market back in the 80s, some with more spokes and wider than others.

I know for a fact that Paul67 (is that his name now?? He used to be Paul79) has a set of very sweet westerns in his basement and for sale

GM tried a few times to offer these as wheels for the C3 but kept running into quality problems from the supplier.
As with the moon roofs, they are a rare, but not so wanted option.

They are Western Vectors. I had a set back in the seventies.

Re: What wheels are these ?? (stingraymax)

lemme check to make absolutely certain they are the same wheels, there are several wheels with about the same styling, some have more spokes than others. I can not remember absolutely certain if mine had that many spokes. I'll snap a pic of them tomorrow.
