Well, that's pretty stupid. Buy a design then not make it. It's got to be frustrating for the dude that designed it as well. I remember following the threads on Protouring and such. He put a lot of effort into that design.

Probably so. It might have worked better as a two-piece wheel.
Ah, well. I like my Torq-Thrust IIs well enough, common as they are. The Hopsters that Alain posted would look great with body color (Like the later SS II) instead of gold, as well, I think. There are several nice interpretations of the SS I, AKA the Magnum 500 out there as well, like American Racing's AR500 and NewGen's Classic Series Five Hundred (I particularly like that one.) I went with the TT IIs over them because a) I like a more "open" wheel, because I like the mechanical look of the brakes, and hope to have something worth showing off eventually, and b) I found the TT IIs in 17x8 cheap, with tires at a swap meet. I need to have them blasted or something, though, as the chrome is peeling from the aluminum. For the moment, it fits the generally ratty look of the car...
