Are they Enkei Apache 3? BTW they are new but they appear to have markings/stickers from the 80s.

These ones are bugging me because I know I've seen that exact wheel before. Not convinced they're Enkei, and they're not any EK##. Could be something more common for the time, like Centerline, Weld, Drag, American Racing, etc. They were all copying designs from each other.

Do you have pictures of the markings?

Along with a sticker on the inside of the barrel, here are some Enkei markings from the early 80s:

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

They look an awful lot like American Racing AR23s to me:

Anyone know anything about these wheels or a build on the car anything?

I was bored.

Thank you, see below.

Very much so, but they are Enkeis, see the pictures below.

You rock as always, thanks Zoo!

^ Well how about that. And here I thought somebody might have just snapped a random Enkei centercap into them.

That's what I was thinking too... those AR23s are exactly what I was thinking of.

These are tough. "Enkei Star" comes up with a very similar wheel on Google images, but not a match.

I came across some solid info on older named Enkei wheels (ones without EK numbers):

The link for more info in the original article is dead though. Could try to contact and see if it can be brought back.

Then, of course, there are the Enkei wheels that don't have a model name or number. We might be looking for a name that doesn't exist. Simply, it's a copy of the American Racing AR23.

I thought the same thing after seeing all these replies at work.

Thanks for all the info! They certainly could just be a AR23 copy, I wouldn't be surprised. The only slight variation I see between the sets is that the cut outs on these have a sharper inner angle than the American Racing wheels.

For tonight these remain a mystery, thanks for all your help and have a nice evening!

Accurate!!!!

[zoo]

Its not a Penta. compare:

Cap says Gotti, and it sort of looks like a one piece version of these:

These things are called Mille Miglia's, any info any these things? I plan on restoring them! Thanks boys

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Mille Miglia, which I believe is now out of business, was a wheel manufacturer. According to the markings on those wheels, they appear to be Alain-078s, though I've been unable to discover anything further about that model. I cannot speak to the quality of that particular wheel, but do note that Mille Miglia is renown for castings of exceptionally soft, weak aluminum. Their Cup 2 wheels in particular are notorious for catastrophic stress cracking across the spokes.
