Yours don't have centercaps either eh?

Looking great.

ICW wheels. 17 in. not sure of the offset. I had blanks drilled to fit....i thought they were kinda tacky at first but they grew on me.

^^personally you need meatier tires on those rims...the tires are way too low profile for the overall look of the car you have going on. Besides that it looks good.

I'm curious about this as well. I'm going for the same look, have the same question.

Yes please, I am tired of asking people for the offsets on their wheels. There are some great examples and some of us are still learning or making decisions on what to buy.

Thanks guys!!

They are Chevlon Racing. That company is no longer in business. I got those for my rx2 about 10 years ago.
