Chrome 15x7 SSIII's
Off a mid eighties Delta 88 two door. 15x7, 5x4-3/4"
I'm pretty sure this is a fairly rare rim
Pics look better than they are. I would suggest trim rings to cover up some rust in the base of the rim. The center black should be blasted and repainted.
I'm going to CT from upstate NY on Monday and I'll deliver for free if you're close to my route. $275 + shipping if you're not on my route

What is the stamping on the backside?
Measuring with a tape measure will yield 15x7 on a 14x6 rim.
I've gotten hosed because of it before...
They look to be 14x6 Cutlass Salon rims only because they have the black inserts and the outer rim is chromed. Deltas never came with full chrome 15x7 rims IIRC but I could be mistaken since I saw an NOS 15x7 with black inserts at a swap meet that had an 83 date code IIRC.
Delta rims had chrome centers like these and used trim rings since the outer rim itself wasn't chromed, those are the very rare rims you are probably are thinking of, I have one of these rims... it's definitely an oddball.
These you have here are pretty common.

15" tires came off the rims. I took them off myself. I'm traveling for work for a couple days but I'll post the pics of the inside markings when I get home. I've never seen rims quite like these in 15x7's but I'm no expert. I have seen a lot of these in 14".

Pics of the stamping on the back of the rim. There's nothing on the inside. I put a 15" trim ring and the 14" trim ring on it. The 14" clearly doesn't fit.
I can make out the M5, Made in Canada,and DO on the back of this rim:

They are identical to the 83/84 H/O and 85-87 442 rims but just painted black.
They should have a stamping that says 15x7 JJ, I've never seen those stamping before.
Just out of curiosity do you happen to know what the back spacing is on these?
I wonder if they have a different BS for Deltas?

I took a minute with a Scotch Brite Pad this morning and cleaned them up where the 15x7 JJ should have been (I've got an identical steel rim) and it was right there, under a little grime. The backspacing is 4 3/8" or 4 5/8" (I was using a not so straight "straight edge"), the same as the steel rims I'm running on my car.
