Those are stockers. Toyo Kogyo is also stamped on the Al rotor housings.

As for material, I'm not sure about what they're made of (steel?). Try a search for waffle wheels or something. I don't actually recall what they're called but hopefully someone else does.

Toyo Kogyo = Mazda...

Pre WWII, they used to be a Cork company... Toyo Cork Kogyo...

Once I learned that, I realized why there's a Mazda performance store called "CorkSport"...

Those wheels were only used on the '80 LS and are pretty rare.
