Yes and no.
They are definitely not made by Toyota.
The product name is "Turbine" but I can't remember the company name.
ROH in South Australia made a very similar wheel - as did a few American companies.
It was quite popular in the 70's and 80's.

But since it was bolted to an old Celica, it is obviously suitable for a RWD Celica.
That makes them suitable for a RWD Corolla or your Nissan (assuming offset is okay - test first).
Good find.

Ignoring the very special and very rare rims on the low production 2000GT, Toyota didn't mass produce alloy rims until Jan 1977 - 8 spoke 13" Corolla rims and 14" Celica/Corona rims.
Then swapped to the 14" pyramid style in 1981.
Then added a few other 13/14/15" styles in 1983.
Toyota rims always have the Toyota name or logo (looks like TEq) embossed on them.
