What brand wheels are these? Answer and get $10!

I've got a buddy who simply wants to know what brand of wheels these are. No one really knows, but Rob likes them (a lot). He's offering $10 to the person who figures it out. I checked it out, and couldn't find a company with the same logo.

Any clues? At all?! Thanks everyone!

BTW - These wheels are on a police SVX purchased at the Whitefish auction a while back... The auction for that drug dealer who had all his items seized.

My friend has those wheels, they're not porsche, but made for porsches, and sold with centercaps for porsches... i don't know the brand, but you won't be able to find the brand by looking at the symbol... i'll see if i can talk to my friend to see what they are...

those are MM Cup 1's, a replica of the Porsche 928 GTS wheels:


they also were available with Cup 2's, but i'm sketchy as to if they were different options, or it changed by MY.


Cup 2's are also made by Mille Miglia as replicas, as well as the Technology "turbo-twist" style and several others.

The holes in between the cup 1s spokes are half circles and the holes for the lug nuts are larger. Look at the space between the spokes on the svx rim, the spokes come together and form a slight point. MMs don't come in a 5x114.3 either.
