Default looking for these wheels please help.

Im looking for these wheels in the pics. Want them to be 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 out back or pretty close to it. Does anyone know what company makes them and who is the least expensive. I appreciate any help. If they make them in Black with the polished lip in this style that would be even better. I can find them in 17's but there not specific to my model year which is 96 camaro z28.

If you want chrome or polished they are torq thrust II. If you want them in black with a polished lip they are Torq thrust Ms i believe most are made only in 17s for fbodys

I believe they are only made in 17s to fit our vehicles. Also a lot of vendors of these wheels are sold out/ back ordered for a few weeks. just a heads up

Ok thank you for the help. I've been seeing them on ebay but there not specific to our model year and unless I get a confirmation that its correct offset and backspacing I won't buy it. I hate cars with rims that stick out from fenders, looks stupid. Lately I've been seeing a lot of that on Evos where I live it looks soo bad that its scary.

I started to make a big long post but meh this is easier.

Here is some links to some of the more popular versions of the torq thrust line.
http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/VN515/VN8158
http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/AR105M/AR1053
http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/VN515/VN5151

Oddly enough I was looking through these links and I didn't see any of the 17x11's listed, but I know a popular wheel combo is the Torq thrust II's in 17x9.5 front with 17x11 in the rear. There website seems kind of screwed up as well, not sure whats going on there but you can at least get some ideas.
