Default unknown rim need help identifying

I have no idea what these rims are. My buddy gave them to me thinking they would fit my car. He didnt know really anything about them. I cleaned them up and found stamps on the inside of the rims for the size 18x7--et42--5x114.3--2.5inch polished lip--flat silver centers---clearly dosnt fit my a3. Can anyone help identify them. check out the pics

Can you get a better pic of the center caps? I can't tell what the symbol is in either of those pictures

Man, I am not sure what kind of wheels those are. I am not familiar with that logo/design on the center caps. Sorry

I looked under wheels starting with M on a few websites to see if the logos matched and none of the other wheels logo's matched this so it must be a uncommon brand or the center cap is a 3 instead of a M

Look at the ring around the M, see how it is broken? Maybe it is CM or MC? Or like you said, maybe it's a 3 or E...

It has a serial number on the back of the rim. Is there a way to run that? I tried googling to find a site for rim serial # search and couldnt find anything.

If I were you id take one of those rims to a custom wheel place if theres one by you and have them take a look at it. Im almost positive they could identify that for you.
