Exclamation HELP!! Who makes these wheels????

I found these pics on a "random F-body pics" page on someone's cardomain site. These might even belong to a member on this site, but I have no idea (if so, nice car ).

Anyway, can anyone tell me what brand these wheels are? And where I could find them? They look like 17"s to me, probably 17X9.5"

Also, can they be had with a chrome/polished center, or only with the charcoal center as shown?

Here are the pics:





Thnaks.

Thanks, looks like they're the HPR5 design. And it seems they can be had in all chrome.

Looks like 18"s is the smallest they come in.

And it seems you can't buy direct through them either.....

Does anybody actually sell these wheels? I can't seem to find an online source that offerers them. What the hell is the deal here? Would I need to contact HP directly for prices/fitment and such?

Yeah, I was able to find that site earlier, but there isn't any vehicle specific sizing or pricing info there. There is a phone number though, so I guess I'd just have to call.
