Default What rims are these?

I was looking through some different parts places and I hadnt been to SLP website in a long long time so I went by and when I clicked I saw a black trans am with some awesome looking rims.
here is a link to the picture http://www.slponline.com/img/car_hea...3_97_fbody.jpg

Does anybody know what rims those are and where I could possible find a better picture or even purchase them?

Yea I think they look freaking awesome too, many a time have I gone to the website just to drool for a while. I love the huge lip they have. I even email SLP webmasters and asked but they were like what picture we dont know, then I emailed them the link to the pic and they never responded.

Pretty weird.

Over a year ago I emailed SLP asking if they by chance knew of the wheels... they didnt, said it was just a photo they had. I really wanted those rims for my car too.

I thought for a bit that they were Enkei Win wheels but I dont believe they are.

Heres the exact reply I recieved... "those are not our wheels nor do i knowwhat type they are regards"

I believe on Brent's vinyl page there is a picture of a section of a TA that has wheels that look like the ones on SLP's page...

Those are not ROH wheels. They look similar to some that they make but those are either Simmons or Kinesis.

Those are the Simmons F Series wheels. They are the same ones that are on the Speed Inc. Turbo car.

Here's a link to the wheels....

I looked at the Kinesis motorsport rims (K57) I think these are pretty close. I called them up and they quoted me 5K for the four 17x9.5 fronts 17x11 rears in the polished finished. I was like at first then I was
