the mystery has flat spokes, not bent.
10 spokes and between each spoke in the middle has a flat transition. no u shape.

its a mix between enkei and team dynamics racign wheels.

either way friday il have to and i can check them out further

To be fair, without stamps or a means to identify the wheel's origin... this wheel is more than likely a cheaper bargain wheel by a lesser known or discontinued manufacturer. Not really a wheel I would put much faith in being worth anything. I hope you're not too paying much for them.

How old/worn are the tires on these wheels? That's not exactly a stellar deal, at least by Wisconsin standards.

no. the odd thing with these wheels. where the spoke touches the middle hub part is straight and flat. all the other wheels out there have a U shape to the next spoke.
