Can anyone identify these wheels for me?

I just picked up this parts car. Can anyone identify these wheels for me (the ones on the red car)? I think that their Western Wheels but I'm not sure.

The picture is a bit small but those look like Western wheels. They can look pretty good when they're cleaned up and polished but I think they're heavier than the Fuchs wheels.

Yep. I love those wheels, I've had them on several cars.

They look fantastic polished, and they also look really good painted black.

It may not look like it in that photo but these are highly polished and not a single scratch (on all 5).

Here are some more pics of the wheels:

I had those wheels on my car for years and loved the look.
Several different companies made them. Mine were American Racing Wheels, but Shelby made them as did Western. They were really made for the VW bug crowd. Mine had about 1/2" more positive offset than stock wheels. I couldn't put much tire under the fenders in the back. But the Bug crowd liked the wide-track look.
