I 'think' those are 5-lug Z31 wheels for cars in Japan only. (JDM, yo!)

based on the wiper configuration, the car in the pic is left hand drive.... but it may be a rare set of imported wheels.

looks a lot like the '84 AE wheel, but the lugs are not covered on those.

If those're indeed "fan blade" style wheels, I've been looking for something like that (I had posted a thread looking for such wheels on a different forum). Gee, I wonder where I could get some...I searched around that JDS link they posted, but it didn't seem to be a wheel manufacturer, or sell any wheels.

the only problem with those wheels is that they only look right on the drivers side of the car.

They are JDS .. was marketed in Germany. Sometimes you can find 'em on Rinkya (or Yahoo-Japan) .. only came in 16s .. very rare .. lots of US potential customers .. and in Japan too. So they fetch a premium price.

All the information in in the Z31 Wheel Show site previously posted.
