Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew what brands of wheels these are? Scored 'em quite cheap for a set of 5, I just like the look because it's different than any other 4x130 bug with EMPIs etc (which mine also on EMPIs currently)

Ultra stopped making the wheels a few years back. PRT reintroduced them a while ago with a Little changed to lip on wheel.
PRT Wheels can be found on Facebook.
The wheels come with and without beadlocks, both in natural and black finish.
Come in two sizes, 15x4,and 15x6.5in.
