Knock off prostars

Who makes them besides jegs and summit. I just picked up two 15x8's for under 50 bucks, but they dont have the WELD stamp on them. Also, they use the shank style lug nuts, unlike the jegs and summit which use standard lug nuts....any ideas?

Theyre worth money to the right person. And you have a very slim chance of finding just two more.

I think cragar called them "Drag stars". Why they stopped making them is beyond me, they actually have one up on prostars cause the center piece that floats and rattles when I prostar isnt bolted on it screw down in the cragars.

Mine floats. I went to buy the shanks for them and an old hot rodder looked at them and said they are welds and they don't look like the cragers.
