Thanks all. They are HP Evo Lightning wheels. Roughly $150 per wheel to get them refinished.

Raist: "ghetto" is exactly the word my wife used to describe them also.

Those are my old wheels, Shane and I did the trade and it worked out for both of us. He wanted something different, and I wanted 17x11s with some meat in the rear.

I still need to get some pics of mine. Maybe when this weather clears up and I can finally do a full detail on the car.

Looks good! I would have just painted the outer part of the lip, but it doesn't look to bad how you have it. What setup are you running (tire size/rim size/drop)? The stance looks perfect on it!

I think this only looks good on the Evo style wheel.
