Default Which Model is this WALD wheel?




I'm contemplating buying these and have them repolished. The down side is that there are only three rims, so I would have to find the forth one. I'm buying them really cheap, so I think is worth buying them even if one is missing.

I don't know the specs on them other than they are 19 x ? Offset unknow. Rear wheel is wraped with 275/30/19 and the two front wheels 245/35/19.
I'm guessing the offset is somewhere around +40 and the width around 8.5F and 9.5R, just a guesstimate.

Anyhow, the wheels are currently on an Aristo I found here at one of the local junk yards while searching for some parts for my Soarer. I would like to buy them, but wanted to know the model name for the wheels so I may start searching for the missing rim. I'd appreacite if anyone could help me out with the model name.

Later!

Nah, it was some other random car.

UPDATE:
BTW, today I picked up the three wheels and decided to get up and check the trunk of the car. Guess what? You guess it, the fourth wheel was in the trunk. Albeit, it has a crack, but not bad, it can be fixed here locally, so yeah, got me some walds for less than dirt cheap!!!

Today I dropped off my second wheel at the wheel repair shop and saw the one I dropped off yesturday. It looked great. I had them fix the bend it had and had them polish the lip. The one I dropped off today had a minor crack and also asked them to polish the lip for me. The cost to repair both these wheels will cost me 3 times more for what I paid for all 4 of them, but still way cheaper than the ones I saw on Yahoo Japan auctions that didn't even look clean, so I still feel good about the find. The other two I will try to polish myself. I wish I could get them painted, but not sure If should stick with the same color or go black, dunno yet, but we'll see.
