Help identify these wheels

Hi, I just got a set of these wheels, but they told me they are Victor Equipment. Only thing is I can't seem to find any Victor Equipment that look like this wheel. Have found some similar, but the rivets are not the same. Also haven't seen them in chrome. Please help me out thanks. Oh ya and I did look inside the wheels, but no manufacture name?

Mine have "Victor Equipment" in small letters cast on the inside of the wheel. See if it says that on yours.

The spoke pattern is very close to the Champion Motorsport RG5. Odd that someone would put a VE center cap on Champions, though since the RG5 is a far superior wheel- plus they're chromed. That said, the RG5 might be the most copied wheel style of all time, so who knows.

I have looked inside the wheels with no luck. Also checked the Victor website and I don't see anything that matches. The rivets are different from anything they have.

Yes. There should be some identifying numbers and/or manufacturer information on the back of the wheels. I've never seen an OEM quality wheel without identifiers.

Ok I just figured it out, looks like they are Champion RG5's. Very odd that they have victor equipment caps. Also looks like they chromed the wheels and the champion logo cant be seen. Here is a pic of one of the wheels

Pretty sure those are NOT Champion Motorsport wheels. (I don't think the RG5s have bolts on them.)

They are close to RG5Bs, but there are too many bolts. The pic below is from my wheels (which was confirmed by CM to be true RG5Bs.) Note the word FORGED between 2 of the bolts.






Rotes, they are actually very easy to clean..

Sorry, the pic didn't upload. I think some one refinished the wheels cause the logo is only visible on one wheel. Also, the logo is very faint and you can barley see it.
