Default Trying to identify aftermarket 17's on the Integra I just bought

Hello, and welcome to my first post.

I just bought a 2000 Integra LS and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the car and what has been done to it. I want to identify the rims so I can replace the lug nut shields / centers. I am missing two shields and one center, and the others are bitched up from someone trying to remove them.

The centers have a ninja-esque "G" on them.

I've searched for every piece of information that is on the rims and I've turned up nothing.

Some stuff on the back of the rim:
17x7 JJ
100/114.3
690KG
YHI
972
ET

Thanks for any looks/info.

They do look a lot like those Akita's, but mine have recessed/removable centers.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the thought. I'm still searching like mad and turning nothing up. Must be pretty old. I'm still looking to buy centers for these if anyone can help.

some sort of Racing Hart C5 knockoffs. EVERYONE and their mother used to make these in the late 90s early 2000's. I'm unsure of who exactly made those.

edit: id be willing to be they are made by Giovana
