That car was done awhile ago and unfortunately the driver and the car are no longer around. I'm pretty sure they are Budnik "flat lipped" Fontanas. Budnik has a unique dip in the spokes just before the center of the wheel in the lug nut area. Here's a link to the "stepped lip" version. http://www.budnik.com/roadwheelitem....3&pid=524&pg=2

They are similar to the Hopster wheel that Summit Racing sells made by American Racing.
