Can't say for certain but I'd say they are replacement rims made April 1999 (499).
Takasago were bought out by Excel around this time and Excel moved the stamping to the outside.

Hi Chris
as z2john stated probably replacement rims but the 303 type is correct! That's the type of rim mounted on a Z1 and not a 305 or 306 type.
