Where did he get them? I was looking at getting them. They are about $480 a piece US. Does he like them? What size are they? Whats the back spacing? And do they bolt right up to a thirdgen? No spacers needed!!

holy crap.. and i thought the torque thrusts at 250 or so a piece were expensive.. thats insane.. and in my opinion they dont look like 500 buck a piece rims.. for 500 bucks a piece i could throw like 22s on my 'burban.. uhh.. "holmes".. yeah.. thats it...

Those are some of the least expensive 17" wheels on the market. Very, very, very few 17" wheels are in the $250 range. Most are $500+. Get into good stuff like BBS, Fikse, Colorado Custom, Boydz, Oz, etc. and you'll probably crap yourself when you see what they cost.

Yea, Jim is definitely right. The rims I'm getting cost between 1100 and 1200 a piece.

I like the design for the most part, but it seems like they flare out as they reach the circular part of the rim, I don't like the way that looks.
