Default Can someone identify these wheels please?

Can someone inform me which cobweb covered wheels I purchased today out of a basement for $47 cash?


some etching on the spoke

centercaps


Here's what I know:
-4x114.3

-They all say Fittipaldi on the wheel and center cap. He was an Indy driver who I guess made wheels for awhile.

-writing under the center cap is:
15x6.5 +38
Ruote O.Z.

Can anybody give me a model name or more info?

Thanks.

Those are O.Z. Fittipaldi wheels.

O.Z. - Manufacturer
Fittipaldi - Model

O.Z. Fittipaldi, they are a pretty solid wheel and are not that rare in the size/structure you found. 47 dollars is definitely a good price for the condition and with caps. They get to be expensive when you deal with the same type of wheel but the 3pc model. Congrats on the purchase.

Interesting... I thought it would be "O.Z. Fittipaldi _______" like there is "Work Emotion XD9".

So that further classification I'm looking for doesn't exist? How would I distinguish the wheels I have apart from any other 1 piece Fittipaldi labeled wheels such as these with the curved edges?



Thanks for the help guys.

Edit:

I helped myself some. According to the following thread, the model name is Monolithic unless these were made before they were bought by O.Z.

I believe Enkei bought out the Fittipaldi line of wheels a while ago. Good buy, they are in decent shape. A well spent $47 in my opinion.

I have never seen anything more than the model name "Fittipaldi". There are different generations of the wheel, but nothing more in-depth than that.
