Default Question about wheels

I was reading in the other thread about the multisized wheels on a car. I REALLY like the way this car looks http://gmhightechperformance.com/features/htp_0311_asp/

Does anyone know the EXACT specs on the wheels? I know the size. But I couldn't find the style. Etc. Also how streetable is it to run a tire as skinny as he is in the front? Do they perhaps make one a little wider? Possibly big enough to fit a 275 on?

DJ was running Bogart RR10's. It's basically a road racing wheel. You can have them make them as wide as you want. I think he chose that size to give it the look of skinnies in the front without running a 3.5" width rim.

Are they durable for daily duties, or are they just a track wheel?

As long as you don't go looking for potholes to drive in you should be okay.

I like the idea of being able to get a really light wheel that I can use at the track. I want something that I can can get in a good width in the rear, and I don't want the usual suspects that are on every other F body.
