Default what rims are these?

they say, 7Jx16H2. they have the "VIA" mark and "jawa" stamp and say, "made in japan" so they're definitely JDM.
the seller told me they were acura LS rims.
but what sort of stock rim comes with a universal 4-lug?
for the record the orange powdercoat isn't stock.
any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Do they have Crimson Racing or anything stamped in to them as well? (Check both sides of the wheel)

the only other thing stamped into them is "JWL". and that just means they're japanese light alloys, right?

they do sort of look like a knock off of the sparco ns2's..
but where the spoke meets the lip, doesn't have as much of a 90 degree bend as the ns2's do.

Yes, the JWL stamp is for the Japanese lightweight wheel certification. I've seen the wheel design before, but the name is escaping me at the moment. Its not a NS2, from what I can remember.

they look sort of like the racing hart cyber's perhaps??

but even these have a slight bend in the spokes towards the lip.

Jacnife werent rare and they werent expensive back then either. I mean its rare now because its not sold anymore but nothing that would fetch for a premium. Jacnifes were the alternative to the big name brands of back then. They were sorta knockoffish in price, but pre-Rota days.

Yeah, Jacnife's. I was just stumped and couldn't think of the name.
