210 was the model: https://www.velo-pages.com/main.php?g2_itemId=28958
I wouldn't be surprised if Araya's 7X and related rims were a copy of those:

I am not sure if I have the correct name but I believe these to be Weinmann Aleshia rims. They were available in both 27" and 700c sizes. The 700c could be purchased in two widths.
In all honesty, they are my favorite vintage rims. Evan though they are a bit heavy they are darn near bullet proof. To that add that their appearance is most certainly unique. I have run them on a few of my bikes, over the years, and my late sixties Legnano Gran Premio still bears a set of 700c Weinmann Aleshia hoops...

But the ones on your bike appear to be these "concave" rims:

(it's easy to get fooled about 3D curves when all you have is a 2D screen pic to look at.)

Right you are. My oops and, of course, a closer look confirms your comment. Sorry about that. Time for Budweiser #2 for today, my daily limit unless I change my mind. And...
For what it is worth, I have a set of #256 Weinmann Alesa 27" rims with the patterned brake surfaces. Plan to install them back on my Carlton Corsair Raleigh as soon as I get it painted.

Weinmann Rims
1975 Catalog - 210 rims are dimpled.
Weinmann 210 dimpled rims eith knurled sided. Also called H.P., Alesa and Sport models. Note, while called H.P. for High Pressure I suppose, anything over 80 PSI is likely to blow most tires off of those rims.
1981 Weinmann catalog showing "SUPER Concave Rims plus the 210 Sport rims.
SUPER Concave rims.
