i'm not really sure of any vendors, but the brand is iForged and the model is their Aero's...google iForged and their site should come up...they're pretty pricey though. i've bought/sold/traded 4 other sets of wheels and some cash here and there to end up with those rims.

....just got off the phone with Byunspeed, we can go ahead and add a BMR Xtreme Torque Arm to the list of go-fast parts 
...which means i'll soon be selling my UMI Adj. TA w/DS loop if anyone wants one.

new windage tray and pickup arrived. i got the windage tray holes drilled out to accomodate my ARP main studs. it took 7 small washers on each stud to get the tray to clear and then a little massaging on the windage tray still left to clear two sets of rod bolts.
In reference to my dilema on valve cover/intake colors, i'm leaving the VC's raw, as they look now, and the oil pan is getting powdercoated silver...the intake will be raw, cast/machined finish too

got a little work done today:
I took my headers to get ceramic coated, and some misc brackets and the oil pan to get powdercoated silver.
I stripped and painted my brake booster gloss black. when it's cured i'll be able to re-run brake lines and get the line lock and ABS delete in.
After fighting for 2 hours, while painting, i got my first and only AN fitting on the end of the fuel hose...talk about a pain in the ***...there's no good way to cut that stuff.
My BMR Xtreme torque arm will be here thursday, so hopefully this weekend i'll get the old one out and the new one in as well as my fuel tank.

parts are still at the powdercoater, he's swamped, but i expect them back by next weekend. I did a little painting on a few small parts. i'm gearing up to get the fuel tank back in and finish the plumbing on it, but im not looking forward to fighting the braided hose and AN fittings 
BMR got my new Xtreme torque arm to me in good time, here's a couple shots of what i got:
This thing is BEEFY, 4130 chro-mo, nice looking welds, and comes with clear instructions and an angle finder. It seems to be pretty well worth the ~$660 price tag, pending performance results...but i got it during BMR's 3-day 30% off sale from Byunspeed for $462

i AM making progress, but its slowing down. i can't get my stupid honda sold, that's what is really holding me back...plus the way the economy is going, i'm a little scared to spend my money on car parts...BUT i am pressing on and will see it to the end in the next month or so hopefully.
