Default Rare option T/a wheels

What years were these wheels available? Why weren't a lot of them made??? Where could they be found if I want a set???

diff people have diff tastes, I'm not fond of them but they aren't that bad. Personally, I'd ditch a factory wheel all together and find something better.

Correct on that one. I have them on my car. People ask about them all the time. I may be selling mine soon since I have way to many wheels and tires laying around and am looking to get some TTII's. Pics...

Yeah, but it's cool. They are some rare wheels and I love them. I may eventually get some others and simply box those up and sit on them for awhile. I really love they way they look while in motion. I don't have any video now, but next season I'll have somebody drive side by side and make some footage. They were the N66 option in 2000 only. And..... because I'm a *****......

They're really rare, and who knows, in a million years they may be collector items. One of my buddies, LS1speedaddict, has them and has the option code etc. They're safe in storage ... lol
