18x8 wheels, what brand are they??

The 2000 maxima that I recently purchased has these wheels on them, I just wanted to know what brand they were. I could find no identifying markers on the wheels, except that they were made in Italy. It also looks as if they may have been painted over by the previous owner. Any help would be appreciated




btw the holes for the lugnuts on the rear wheels seem to be a bit deeper and the metal that makes contact on the rotor hub where the lugs bolts are is thicker on the rear wheels

thanks a lot!!, I think the previous owner went for the staggered look on the ones he bought for the rears. I was not able to do a rotate the position of the tires because the fronts were too sunken in when moved to the rear, and the rears were sticking out a bit when moved to the front. They all look identical otherwise.

He seemed to have painted them all silver or something because where the road rash is(and some other parts of the wheel are chipping off) it looks black and so does the inside of spokes(facing the brakes), and there seems to be some wearing out of whatever he did to them. Is there any way I can get them to their original color(take off what he did)??? or maybe they came that way??
