They were Saturne, but the later models used a logo that represented both the A and N with an inverted V.

They were made in Japan in the eighties by Ukai for Specialized. Nice rims, by and large.

Having said that, it seems "Saturae.com" is now a company that sells wheels, using the later Saturne logo, complete with a stylised planet Saturn! I'm thoroughly confused.
