Look at the center bore. They're aftermarket fo sho! Looks like an old school Modern/American Racing wheel. Similar to a Modern type 25 and/or Modern type 29.

A sure indication of the age is the style of center cap that's used. Not many current car wheels use the screw through style center cap, with a cast threaded base(at about the one o'clock position in the center of the wheel in picture number 2)

The center caps must be long gone? They'd have the logo on them. Or, check the backside of the wheel, and report all numbers/letters here. Thanks!

Smith ain't nothin' to mess with, y'all. This boy can ID a rim from 500 yards at 60 mph. :)

Elite manufactured some inexpensive rims which were marketed through PepBoys and Discount Tire (and thousands of other shops) since the early 80's. Most are 13-15" and fairly boring in style by today's standards.
