Default show off your wheels

I'm looking into possibly getting some new wheels for the bb 71. I've been looking pretty hard at the american racing torq-thrust IIs. Anyone have these on their vette? Also I'm not really set on these I'm just kinda looking around right now, so show off your wheels let me see all your aftermarket wheels. Also if you don't mind include about how much you spent to get them and get them on. thanks

I have more shots of my car with the TTII's on it in my gallery also. Here are a couple of close ups.
I bought these used off of a forum member. You may be able to run across a good deal on a used set also.

17" Eagle Alloy 211. They're a bit more economical than TTII's.

Here's a shot of my CCW's. 18x10.5 with 295 series tires in back. 17x9.5 with 275's up front. Wheels and tires cost me just shy of $3k if I remember correctly (I try and forget how much I spend on my vette).
