Wheels.......... what are mine from

I have some weird wheels on my 82 T/A
They are gold and have triangle cut-outs to show the 4-wheel disks
They are alluminum and are not painted on the side that directly face the observer but the inside area is painted with thick gold paint. I have searched and I haven't seen anyone else with these wheels. They fit perfect and require no spacers. I know these are not stock because I have the pictures that the guy before me had taken of my car; then he had the silver turbocast wheels. what are mine???? Anybody know?
thanks

I also noticed that not one single car in the pictures on this site have my wheels. The ones I have are not the recaro and not the stock gold they make a spiderweb pattern with 5 or 6 triangles cut our for the brakes like I already said.

any help?

no they aren't gta mags....
or at least the ones that are in the picture arcives on this site. I have a picture of the old wheels not the new ones, so that won't help. I am really curious because these look very stock and match the gold on black that the car had. Any other ideas?
