Surely diamond racing wheels. They're very cheap and very heavy. Careful stretching tires.

Actually, those aren't Diamond Racing Wheels.

Those are banded steelies (steel wheels that have had added material to make them wider). To be more specific, they're banded Weller wheels.

Not saying I don't believe you, but how can you tell a difference?

Diamond Racing only has a couple wheel face designs that they offer for mass production.

The main two are:
D-Shaped cutouts
Circle cutouts

Now, the Circle cutouts look very similar to the wheels posted, but the size and spacing of the circles is different then to the wheels posted. Also, Weller steelies are multi-pattern, where as Diamond Racing wheels are not.

Here's a set of Wellers that have been banded: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/weller-wheels-...d=233742253852

From the Forum Rules and FAQ:
7. Bump once and if you still don't get the info you're looking for just let it die, don't bump it again.
If you bump the topic a second time, the topic will be locked. Think about this, please. This means that if you use your single bump on your topic after an hour, when it's still at or near the top of the forum topic list anyway, it will be wasted when it doesn't accomplish anything for you.
PS. I already mentioned what wheels they are, with providing factual information. Whether or not you choose to accept it is irrelevant.
