Somebody's gonna chime in and say "I don't like Mustang wheels" bla bla bla. I think they look FANTASTIC though. Your car is the second or third thirdgen I've seen with those style wheels and I love the look. Heck I even liked it on the Mustang.

the only thing I dont really like about them is the center cap....it'd be better if they matched the color of the spokes

Torq Thrust D's only come up to 16". those are definately 17" and they come from American Racing with that finish...the wheels is Torq Thrust II.

They are torq thrust ii's that came with that finish in 17x8. I also have a set of polished tt's but this set set off the car in a different way, and have never seen them in person on another car.

Those wheels are wonderful for a third gen! Good choice and impeccable taste my good man 
A lot of the old 1968 and 69 Chevelles came with wheels almost identicle to those. They are a truly seminal design and remain fundamentally timeless

Very nice, goes great with that color on the car to.
Also you can tell the are TTII's by the way the spoke are done, these have more curves TTD's have more straight styled spokes and think the largest size is 16's and cost more.
anyways, good choice on the rims, lookeds better thean the full polish.

I like the wheels, but i think a set of chrome ones would do a lot more justice on the blue car, just my opinion of course, but those TT's look great!

sweet, no... scratch that.. sick rides! both are gorgeous. Nice rim choice. Looks like the IROC drop top needs some exhaust and some nice chrome tips sticking out the rear.
