Identify these wheels

Just out of curiocity, does anyone know who makes these wheels?

All I know is that they are 17x7, have two bolt patterns, one of which is 4x100. There are a few markings on the back, but nothing indicating a brand.



I bought them used, and the previous owner painted them orange, but when I was stripping the paint, I found out that originally they were white.





I was going to paint them white, but decided not to because of ridiculous amount of brake dust produces by my brake pads... so I went with graphite instead.

they're not rota, they have the dual bolt pattern (rota doesn't do that with that style of rim)
i would say they're a replica rim brand

What paint did you use that looks like a close match for dark silver metallic.

There's a ton of images via Google.

Here are some real Volk TE37's on an R56 JCW hardtop.
