Those prices don't look too cheap to me. Plus they don't have 17x11's.

Bolt = 5/4.75

BS = 7.75" looks to be the best bet.

Offset = ~45 MM

I just ordered these from NTB, they made a call to American Racing to get the correct offset which I believe they said was 45mm. This seems a bit off from the "Does this fit" sticky thread which recommends a minimum of 50mm for a 17x11 rim but this guy from american racing seemed extremely confident and knew exactly what I wanted and was familiar with this wheel on many F-bodys. And it seems to coincide with Xsta's post above also.

The wheels should be on the car by Friday at the latest, I'll post some pics then.

The "Does This Fit, I think was originally written for the ZR1 replica, I should Edit it to reflect the TT2 Sizes.

Just got these on. I like 'em!
They are TT2s 17x9.5 Front, 17x11 Rear 45mm offset (standard for that rim)
Tires are Dunlop SP5000 275 / 40 Front, BFG Drag Radials 315 / 35 Rear

the tires out back are wider so you need a smaller profile to keep them the same height front and back, otherwise the ABS goes nuts.

The "40" and "35" are the sidewall hieght based upon the percentage of the tread width, so wider tires typically require lower percentages to keep the overall diameter the same.
