These are the ones!!!!!  They look kinda dorkie from far away like in 
the pic of Tim's car, or maybe they just look better on my black 
rocco.  In any event, does anyone have a pair they are looking to 
sell?  Even if you only have one, I'll consider buying it and then 
finding another. In fact, 2 of mine are pretty corroded so if you 
have a set of 4 I might go for them.  

 Maybe I ought to look for someone who carries Ronal and see if they 
still make the knockoffs?

Thanks Shawn, I had seen the pics of Tim's car before and thought 
they looked a lot like my wheels.  Now to find some.
