I feel like I've seen these before, but I can't place them. If it comes to me, I'll let you know.

Maybe I can help as a start....................they look like the Motor Wheel aftermarket polycast exeter wheel back in the early 70s. I am not sure what version you are showing or its application though, as it isn't exactly like the images I am showing below, but close enough to assume they are by Motor Wheel.
Motor Wheel offered these wheels in the aftermarket as Polycast Exeter wheels but they were also an option on full size Oldsmobiles as well back in the day..........................
Here is a photo of them offered as an option on Oldsmobile Delta 88 models with the Oldsmobile logo.
I had a set of the aftermarket version by Motor Wheel on my tan 70 Chrysler 300 coupe back in the day myself just because I liked the look. Although I changed over to the Chrysler road wheels a few years after buying my car (used back in 1971) I used the Motor Wheels up until about 1974. I still have them and still like the look.

The Oldsmobile wheels came to mind as being similar, but I'm picturing something European from the late 1970's or early 80's.
A friend of mine bought an Olds that had those polycast wheels on it. I believe that they are quite rare. Including his, I've only ever seen two cars with them. I do think they are sharp looking too.

I made the same mistake on a set of Dakota wheels. I could not fond factory size markings anywhere on them, so I measured lip to lip. Offered them for sale as 16" rims. The guy who bought them contacted me very quickly when he learned they were 15s. I still have them.
What I found hard to believe is some guy had told the buyer 15s would not fit on a Dakota, but they are Dakota wheels. My gardener has the same set! Didn't argue, gave his money back.
Anyone looking for a set of Dakota 15s?

Are you keeping that convertible or selling it? I would think you would put those recall wheels on something you want to keep.........................??

Those wheels are gonna look awesome on that car Trev! They will remind me of the rims on the blue 69 VIP that was for sale. However as @saforwardlook said, I thought you were selling that convertible though?

It was on offer, but I’ve decided to caretake it awhile longer and enjoy it.
But we can’t keep them forever so at some point....

Folks are kinda talking as if they are the same - but the Olds and the Exeters are different wheels.
Olds has a recess where the centercap goes, and also uses a trim ring (red circle).
The bowl going toward the lugnut area looks a little more vertical, which causes the blue line, the valley between the 'funnels', to maybe be shorter on Olds.
The funnels are different size (Exeter is larger), and the Olds looks to funnel to the rim bead, while Exeter toward the lugnuts (look at the areas marked in magenta). A
Olds funnel looks much taller (deeper valley) as can be seen in the ebay picture. Picture also shows it without a trim ting.
Some of these differences might be exaggerated by the angles of view, but the wheels are definitely not the same.
But likely both were made by the same company.

Ha! I can't believe I remember those wheels. I had to look, and I was right. My junior high school English teacher had one. -
