What are these wheels??

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:

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.
And you don't have to agree with my taste, I already know I'm weird.

Hmmmm, so I'm being outvoted here? But I thought they looked good.
Oh well, I have always been one of a kind.

Thanks for the link.

ouch... 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.

Re: What are these wheels??

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.

Re: What are these wheels??

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.
