They look like some I got on a camper trailer. (ebay job)

If so I guess they are Chinese.

Dr Google turns them up in mentions for Pajero, Landcruiser and Patrols

No Peco star are not chinese, been around a while and were polpular on VW buggies.

They're rubbish. How much do you want for them?

Seriously, they are an exceptional quality Australian made wheel, at least mine are.
Peco Star used to make exceptional quality "guaranteed for life" wheels. The company was bought by White Systems, which is where I bought mine from. I believe the brand is now owned by "Eastern Wheel Works".
You have a set of excellent wheels there.

Very well made wheels, they were one of the first white spoke wheels. Made in Ringwood vic if memory serves.

I always thought they were imported from the USA, so now I know better. They were certainly the first wheels in the 70's to be available after market. Magazines like "Off Road" & "Bushdriver" used to always have advertisements. Eastern wheel works trademark rims have less spokes but may have bought the patents.

I think you will find they were used on the "GAME" landys

I think Sunraysia's made by Weels International in Sydney pre-dated the Peco's.

Genuine Sunraysias.

I had set for a Jeep, 3/8" plate centre section, 10 spoke, spokes directly welded to the ROH rim like the Peco's.

You are 100% correct Andrew , I not only had a set on a Game I used to have , but also on an ex army 109 hard top , and I still have them , They are 15x8in . The difference is each spoke is welded , as cheaper imports were pressed/stamped out . You had to do them up very tight !!.. Jim
