What are they and where can one get a set? What should I expect to pay? I talked to the owner and he told me they were Enkei (sp?) wheels. I searched online but could not find this design.
I just love this "wide BMW" look and would love to put a set on my future Z28.

In Edit: It appears that the picture has moved, maybe this link will work: http://images.autotrader.com/images/2004/7/17/166/362/936715916.166362716.IM1.MAIN.565x421_A.562x421.jpg

Yep, that's the picture. I'm not interested in the vehicle but in the wheels & tires. I have no other picture.
I searched a lot of sites but did not find anything that would even closely resemble this style. Am I looking in the wrong places?
Any info would be appreciated. :bow:
And you don't have to agree with my taste, I already know I'm weird. :D

Hmmmm, so I'm being outvoted here? But I thought they looked good.
Oh well, I have always been one of a kind. :D:D:D
Thanks for the link. :thumb:

Anyway, they look pretty close to American Racing Outlaw II rimshttp://www.americanracing.com/images/wheels/mega/m62.jpgouch... somewhere there's a HUGE kitchen sink missing it's strainer. :)
I really don't think they're that unique, it a very common wheel design for trucks and fairly popular back in the 80's. ;)

Pardon my stupidity but what do they call the parameter that determines how "deep" the wheels are? Is it the offset? I've been searching online but could not find a good explanation. And all wheel pictures are usually just an illustration and don't reflect the given parameters when shopping for a wheel.

wow i haven't seen anyone actually pursue that style of wheel in years.....
with your last post asking about depth of the barrel on a wheel it's determined by backspacing of the rim as well as width of the barrel. for example a 10" rim with a 7.75 backspacing has roughly a 4" lip........more commonly referred to "deep dish" or "fat lip"
check out a few pictures on my page to see an example of such rim.
