Need help identifying these wheels!

Looking at buying these wheels and the guy does not have the center caps and I don't want to buy if I can't find caps for them. Ive searched several wheel sites and could not come up with anything. They came off of a C4 corvette. Any help is appreciated.

Look like a deep dish and larger version of the wheels on the classic mini coopers. No clue what they are though, you might post a better picture, bigger and better quality if he's got one.

Why do you want center caps if you're using the wheels for racing? Most of the time you have to remove the center caps. Depends on how observant the spec guy is.

It's a little tough to see the pictures clearly, but they look like they might be a Ronal or Gotti wheel.

I checked those brands and couldn't see anything that resembled the ones in the pictures unless you have a model # that you had in mind. Thanks for the suggestion. Still searching.......

X2 on being a Ronal. (Gotti is a Ronal wheel)

Passing on a set of wheels for race use because of a lack of center caps? Now I've heard everything.

Hint: It's likely not a current production wheel, and that's why you can't find info on them. You'll have more luck if you call.
