Real popular back in the late 80's. Not so much anymore. After market rims generally don't age well, especially if a little complex.

I agree with Hitmanpty, Mastersorbets wheels seem to be original Gottis (note the casted "GOTTI" and "J55A" lettering on the wheels arms).

Figures..... I'd like to get c5 or c6 wheels but now that i know what i have i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Chances are I'll keep em and restore them unless i can trade them for newer wheels and tire or some one offers me a decent amount for them......
