I have not heard of any place to buy them already painted. You need to get the wheels and have them painted "gunmetal gray metalic" or powdercoated "anthracite"

Powdercoating will run 50 to 100 per wheel. Check profab (sponsor), they have a set in black on their site.

You cannot get them from Tom Henry.

You could also get the TTII in the classic finish. It is the old school gray from the 60's.
That is what is on my car.

i always wanted those but was told that they didnt come in 17s by a few people. so i gave up and bought som 18" Z06's should have looked around more.

and the only people ive met with "gunmetal" TTs had them painted by a trusted body shop.

I think my best bet would be to just get the polished ones and and get them painted or powdered gumetal metallic to match my rear valance. how much did you pay for yours 1cam??

When you order the rims from American Racing tell them you want the Torque Thrust 2 "CLASSIC" wheel. Mine are 9.5 front and 11 rear. They are a made to order wheel so you will wait a while. Mine were $300 front and $335 rear.

The Torque Thrust D wheel is the classic wheel and it does not come in 17". The Torque Thrust 2 "Classic" is the new style 17&18 inch wheel with the gray center.

I dont wanna pay extra for the classics. Discount qouted me 1200 today for wheels alone and like another 1200 for tires. I should get an employee price because of all the money i have spent there in the last 2 years. i will probably go to ebay and get the set with tires from rons rims for 1595 unless a sponsor can hook me up or find a trade.
