Minilite copy?

Just bought a Sr. IV parts car. The last registration on the car is
1988. It sat for quite a while. It has 4 alloy minilite-type wheels.
I have removed the tire from one of the wheels and there are NO markings
of make or size(No markings, period!). They have the traditional 8
spokes. Where the spokes meet the holes for the lug nuts there is a 3/4
moon shaped recess for the nut. The nuts are long and cylinder-shaped.
They insert through the wheel and have thick, flat washers. Do these
wheels sound familiar to anyone? Maybe a mililite-copy put out by VB or
someone?
I imagine they will clean up fine and didn't cost me $800+. I'm
certainly happy to have them, but I am curious to know who the maker is.
