Yeah, those are the American Racing Torque Thrust IIs, very nice rims. Try a search and you'll find all kinds of info. They run about $230-$280 each, depending on size.

Since that is my car in the pic...I can assure you they are TTII's. I paid $240 a piece for them and they are 17x8's in the front with 5 inches of offset and 17x9.5's in the rear with 5.5 inches of offset. You can order them in just about any size from 15 inch to 20 inch. I've been very happy with mine. :lala:

Thanks for the compliments guys. I don't care that you used the pic...it wasn't copyrighted or anything..hehe. Anyway, I got my wheels through Discount Tire Company....a friend of mine is a manager and he set me up with wheels and tires...he couldn't make me much of a deal on the wheels, but he made me a pretty good deal on tires. I'd like to point out that you might need to use a different offset in the front than I did. Mine has the 1LE spindles and brakes on it which make the front end stick out a little wider than the normal brakes, so I don't know how much of a difference it would make, but I just know there is a difference between the two.
