Does anyone have pictures of a C5 with American Racing Torque thrust II wheels?

Looks like the wheels come in close to Corvette sizes. The image above is with 19's all around although they don't show that they come in 19". Here are the sizes they list:
15x6, 15x7, 15x8, 15x10, 15x12, 15x14
16x5.5, 16x7, 16x8, 16x9.5
17x7, 17x8, 17x9.5, 17x11
18x7, 18x8, 18x10
20x8, 20x10
Personally, I loved the look of these wheels on older muscle cars but just don't think they look right on modern vettes. To each his own though.

I was kind of thinking that the curves if the spokes might be more in keeping with the lines and curves of the car, than even the original thin spoke wheels. Opinions?
