What rims are these?

Okay I went and picked up a set of rims yesterday for a really good price, but I have no idea what brand they are or anything, and it doesn't say anything I recognize on the back. Besides the JWL logo, it says "LP" in a box, and "AS-7", and also that it's made in Italy.
I've tried a few places and nobody seems to recognize them, I figured maybe someone on here would have some idea. Anyone?

I don't really care how they look, that's not why I got them, just curious what they are.

They were the right size and just needed something for the back until I get some better ones, the stock rims were messed up when I got the car.

AS-7 is a lightweight aluminum usually used in a low pressure cast. No clue what brand they are.

do you guys use the word "rims" or "wheels"? I guess growing up being into BMX (very very long time ago), when I hear the word "rims" I think of this:

dude I thought you were showing us the back side of the wheel until I saw the stem hole. No clue what they are. What offset are they? Sorry man but they're going to look like ass cuz they'll noticeably stick out from your fenders.

Wheels. I hate the term "rims" used for wheels.

I'm not sure what offset they are, they're 17x10 and the guy that gave me them thought they were like +40. They really don't stick out that much at all.

aight bro you're gonna have to post pics because I don't see how 10-inch wide wheels don't stick out on your car.
