Default Need help identifying wheels

Hey everyone, I came across some pretty cool wheels and thought they might look good on my 1983 civic. Do you know what car they are from? The owner said 82 accord, but I'm having a hard time finding pictures of these anywhere.

You guys think they would be worth $160? (I haven't bought them yet). They obviously need some TLC.

So digging a bit further, I was able to find a part number and a PDF that claims these were from a 1988 Accord. Part number is 08180-SA620AH, but I still can't seem to find a picture of the wheels actually on anything.

For anyone that might care, I went and got the wheels. They are in great shape, but the clearcoat isn't the best, you can tell they sat for a long time. I'm planning on stripping the clear and polishing them, then re-painting the little inside slots black again back to OEM.

I also found "11-83" stamped on the inside, so at least they are period correct to my 2nd gen.

It also says "manufactured by Rockwell International for Honda Motor Company"

I couldn't really find anything about rockwell international. Any ideas for those wheel gurus out there?

Rockwell Int'l was a US-based foundry/casting facility purchased in '91 by Atchison Casting Corp. They simply made the wheels here in the US for Honda, at the time.

Well I've stripped them down to bare aluminum, I've started polishing. Theres some nasty stains in a lot of the spokes...not sure if I'm going to be able to get them out. But will post some more pictures along the way.
