Assuming that the center cap logos represent the wheel manufacturer, I have to say that I have never seen those wheels before and I have looked at a LOT of different wheels.

Center cap logo looks like back to back K's to me (possibly).

I've seen a lot that are similar but not those exact wheels.

So i was able to look at them closer, they are Kennedy forged wheels. Anyone knows about such brand name? I google them but i found only limited information.

Yep, ncvette was right: those ARE the right caps for Kennedy Racing or Forged wheels, but I've never heard of the company. They may design wheels for another make of car. See if they have a website.

There are far more designers/marketers of wheels than there are actual manufacturers. It sort of follows the way the auto battery industry works...lots of brands, very few actual makers producing the batteries for those brands.
