Those are ROH wheels. You can buy them at groupAwheels.com. Personally, I would go with the Firehawk wheels instead.

I'm looking to spend under a grand on the wheels ideally..... Are those wheels silver or black ice in the picture?? I'd like chromes or at least polished alum like the stock ws6 wheels, the website wasn't entirely clear on what the surface was of those ROH wheels.....

My big issue is i can't find many good options online, and i'm bad at imagining what they would look like on my car.... (pics in sig)... but I did like that pic of the 30th with the ROH wheels...

Also not sure about the black ice thing.... are there dealers that sell these

I'll continue the challenge then..... I'd really like 5 spoke chrome wheels... 17"x9.5 and the slp wheels only come in 9..... for the front i don't care if they're only 9, but I'd like 9.5 in the back for some wider more agressive looking tires.....

You can't tell a difference in a 9" wheel compared to a 9.5" wheel. You'll be able to run the wider tire in the rear with 9" wheels all the way around.

and still not bow the sidewall? With 9.5's I can run wider tires than I can run on a 9, otherwise there'd be no point to having 9.5's at all...... Am I missing something? Wider wheel=wider wheel..... I mean I've heard you can run 315s on stock rims, but your going to bow the sidewall and have band seperation and a bad lay of the tread on the ground......

there still isnt much of an advantage of using a 9.5" over a 9"
99.9% of people with 17x9 AND 17x9.5" wheels use a 275/40/17

The RT's on the 30th are 18" Black Ice. Group A's site only shows Black Ice and Silver BUT thet can do Chrome for you as well. Just give them a call. Chromes are about $375.00 each however. That is for an 18X10 wheel. Not sure how much a 17 would be in chrome.
