Sounds like you have a set of American Racing Eagles. I also have a set
as does Peter Samaroo. They look kind of like minilights but the
"spokes" are not as curved and they don't go all the way to the center
hub but rather join the rim around it (I can eamil you a picture if you
are not sure!).
Anyway, if they really are mint, they are worth about $200 to $250 each.
