The wheels in the first picture look like Boyd Coddington Smoothie's. Not sure about the size, but my guess is they are either 17's all the way around, or 17's in front and 18's in the rear. Probably 8inch wide in the front, and 9.5inch wide in the rear.

Here is a link to Boyd Coddington Wheels:

Otherwise, they are TT2's as you have suggested. But I believe they are Boyd's.

No clue about the six spokes in the second picture.

Hope this helps.

The 6 spoke are Volk Racing, "daytona speed" If you wanted these I believe you would need to custom hole them. They don't have 5X4.75 pattern. Those rims are beautiful, forged and light. GTA rims are made in Japan as well (SSR).

The first ones are indeed Torque Thrusts,as seen on the picture below. and the second ones are volks, and I'm pretty sure they would custom make them to fit your car, they are a very high quality rim company from Japan

Isn't Tom's wheels just an "spinoff" version of Volks?
