Can anyone ID these wheels?

Someone gave me a pair of these wheels.  I have no use for them but I would be interested in what they go to. 

Thanks for any information.

Hello Glen

They look like Cadillac RWD wire wheels for 1977-92.
All good men own a Cadillac but great gentlemen drive a LaSalle. That is the consequence of success.

by looking at the pics it looks like the offset is for a FWD. They have a different spoke pattern than my 84 Fleetwood had and the hub appears to be further "out" than mine.

Look like aftermarket 79-85 Eldo wheels.  Also 80-85 Seville.

Hello Brian

Looking at the front of the wheel, what is the distinguishing factor of FWD versus RWD?  Thanks.

The offset of the wheel.

The hub area is almost on the same plane as the outer rim, therefore the back of the rim is extra deep providing clearance for the brakes and the spacing required on a FWD car.

On a RWD rim, there is much more of a drop from the outer rim to the hub which makes it fit differently on the car.

The offset of any rim refers to how much the hub is offset from center towards the inside or outside of the rim.
