Does anyone know what model are these American racing rims?

I think they are ARE's from around 1987-1993
they are a two piece style with the center cap screwing on.

my center caps wont hold on in the front

I need to new center caps or fix the ones I have.

From what I can see

they look like BBS Rims?? Do you use a special wrench to remove the center caps?? Turn one quarter turn and the cap comes off??

BBS Caps -

Here are all that are offered from what I have been told. ARE is not AR wheels... ARE was bought out by BBS (again from what I was told).
