yet another need id on these rims

I just picked these up for a steal and im wondering where I might find a fourth?
The listing said they were ICW's but they must be very old, or not that brand because im not finding them. any one know if they are icw rims what style they are? or if they are not what are they?

I cant find any by TSW that look close.
gram lights look close but they have the name stamped all over them and could not be misstaken for icw's
the weds sports look very close but the area where the spoke meets the hoop is to shallow on them.

That is one of the OG 'Tuner' style wheels. I know that Team Loco/Prime used to sell a similar wheel. So does American Racing. Pick up any import mag from '000ish & you will see them

close, those are 6 spoke the ones I have are 7.....
this has been such a pain!!!
They are team loco style
it appears that team loco, icw and prime are offshoots of the same company.
this is what i get for doing resurch after purchesing.
my new issue is I have been contacted by some one that has a rim that matches theses.
good news right?
wrong!
all the looking around I have done suggests the correct offset for a 7in wide rim for imprezas is from 50mm-55mm.
this is important because too much offset and the tires will rub on the inner wheel well, too little and they will rub on outside wheel well not to metion they will put greater stresses on the wheel barrings, which could lead to premature falure.
the rim he has is 42mm the rims I have comming are 35mm.
I have access to a mill to correct all 4 rims if (and this is a big if) both of the offsets used the same molds, and the counter bores on the lug nuts are at a set depth from the face of the rim, not the mounting surface.
once i get the rims that I won on ebay (pictured in the first post) i will have my answers. If there is enough room for me to machiene off 17mm and therefore there should be enough to do the same on the 42mm. offset rim.
geeze
$45 for 3 rims shipped
$100 for the 4th shipped
$20 for a 24 pack to get my friend to mill them to the correct offset
$150 to powder coat them
not wanting to pay $300 for cheap rims in the first place, a far gone dream!!!
these better look mighty wicked when/ if they are done....
If not Ill have 3 cheap rims for sale soon!!!

to schnell!
PROST!!!
lookin mean. I love the gun metal with the polished lip. I think I might (sence I have to have the painted or powder coated) go with a bronz/gun metal mix for the color. I think it would complament the color of my car better.
