It is RG, certain of that

Couldn't find any infos what model they are and for how much they sell...

Stern Face 2

Im not so certain now, but I for got to add "not". Not RG, as they have wider gaps in spokes.

Stern Reverse Face 2 (or Face-II). Not super rare, though most were 5x114. Looks like a skinny size. In that condition, about $500 is all I would expect to get out of them. Refinished, they're about a $1000 set.

Looks American made, BOZE or LB Forged maybe?

[staystetti]

not LM's? seem to have a tad different spoke design

18x8 et35, 2 piece

[The_Sauce]

Those do not look 2 piece. Look at the paint break. Look like LM reps.

[staystetti]

actually- in that last picture it looks like the face is cast into the barrel, but with fake nuts too? weird.

[The_Sauce]

A lot of old LM reps used real bolts that did nothing.

[zoo]

There are a few replicas out there with real bolts. No 2 piece reps were made.
Some do try to pass them as the real thing:
