Depending on diameter, if they are 13" they could be TE cortina factory alloys, don't think they were painted though.
Hope this helps.

Is this a quiz like the other one ,What car is this? If not then f@cknose. If yes my guess is a 1980ish Honda Prelude but they may fit a dozen other cars.

Definately the 4cylinder variety as for model don't know..but given that there 4 stud will not be a six.

why not try a google on wheel manufactures.

Just a thought but check ROH.

my first thought was Cortina, but they also look similar to wheels some Datsun sunny/stanza's used to have..

my dad used to have these rims on a te (1978) cortina. but not painted blue like that one.
they are ford rims and the corty had a 3.3litre (200ci) 6 cyl motor. came like that from factory.

edit: 13 inch dia

CSA Volante, as fitted to some MKII escorts, TE Cortinas, ZH Fairlane Sportsmans, and optional on XD Falcons.

My Mum's old 1980 TE Cortina 6GL S-PAK had these ... hers was the 4.1L 4-speed manual. Also had the grey vinyl roof as well ... silver paint with the orange/red stripes with teh overriders on the bumpers as well.

Damn that was a good car ... wish we had it still.

I had a "loan car" from Peter Warren Ford in 1980 , while waiting for my XD S-Pack Wagon , It was a 4.1 TE sports pack , exactly the same wheels.

Just a guess but they look like possibly the old style capri. I think I recall seeing that style wheel on the cars in the series "the professionals" (bodie and doyle from MI5)
