Default Can someone identify these wheels?

I spotted these wheels on-line - they were not identified in any way, so I have NO idea what they are, but they are very close to the sort of wheel I'm looking for... Plain simple wheels...

I do not like wheels with a bunch of skinny spokes - these are about as skinny as I'd take. I don't like a complex spiderweb of spokes. I don't like complex surface treatments, swoops, notches, slices, splits, rivets, lumps or bumps.

I don't care for wheels that are more open space than wheel.

I prefer wheels who's spokes and centers are somewhat recessed compared to the rim of the wheel.

Those wheels in the pic satisfy all those desires. Before you say it, yes they DO look about like something that belongs on an old Divco milk truck.

Does anyone know what they are, or of any wheels very similar in 15x6 or so? These would be going on my PW xB...

Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance to someone who is able to give me a push in the right direction...

I looked and could not find and exact match. The closest thing I found is on www.tirerack.com Borbet Type B.

Yeah, the closest I've seen recently are the Borbet B and the Sport Edition D3 (which is slightly closer). I may end up with a set of one of those, but right now, I'm still looking.
