Default What is wrong with my Rims????

[IMG]Please tell me where these rims came from because i cant find anything like this.... I bought this car it was slightly used 15K miles 100% mint condition these rims ARE 17 inch by 9 inch so they are equal size to transam rims even though they dont look it , (the picture of these rims dont do them any justice as they loke 10000 times better then this in real life)
Basically the difference between this rims is 1.) the spokes are fatter 2.) the spokes fuse with the rim lip deeper in then the others which fuse more on the outside making my spokes to apear shorter in size , 3.) they are more curved 4.) a little more chromed and 5.) the center cap is different. 6.) the lug holes are oval
where could these of came from??? it would really help me solve a huge puzzle, They do look a H*** of alot better inreal life and they are full size but where from??? I checked grand prix's I checked GTO's I checked firehawks, and i checked older transams and None have i found a match... They dont apear to be after market..... if anyone recognizes please let me, know.
Here is a standard transam ws6 rim and here is mine for quick comparison

Yes, that is correct. The ones on the left look so much better, too, in my opinion!

Your 2002 WS6 has the 98-00 WS6 wheels. They are factory pieces, but they shouldn't be on a 2002 model year.
My buddy has those on his 2000 WS6.
