4 stud so not of any falcon. Look like Cheviot rims for a small car.

I think don't quote me when these hotwire wannabes came out the spokes was a silvery blue and the centre was a just polished or sometihng. I have seen these wheels before on a excort if I can recall

Cheviot Hotwires came out in silver, gold & I think black as well. I used to have a gold set on a VJ Valiant back in 1981. Don't know how long they were for sale after that, but your set may be fom the '80's.

The lost centres were either Cheviot or Aunger, same company based here in Adelaide, one factory was at Salisbury South, the other at Elizabeth West, can't remember who bought out who.

i think there Aunger as cheviots had screw in centre caps but you could take 1 off as i think there marked in side/back side of the rim
