Those are good looking wheels. First time I've seen them I think.

Yeah, they do. I've always liked the Telstars. It's too bad that it looks like the backspacing is way off to fit our cars, not to mention they're only 8" wide.

yeah i noticed that too, not sure why they would put out such a limited selection to a nice wheel like that.

i want to get the 18's for my truck, and the 18x8/4.5 BS would work great except when my truck gets back on the road it won't have the factory rearend/offset

I dont either. If they made these in a 17x9, I'd be all over it. Or better yet, if they did like the TTII's and offered a 17x11, then we could run a 17x9 up front and 17x11 out back. Now that would be awsome!!
