Default Torque Thrust II Pics?

Ok summer is on it's way, and i think some new wheels may be in order. I'm thinking Torque Thrust II. Does any one have pics of his or her corvette with these wheels on.? Also, in case I do decide on these wheels does anyone happen to know the offset/backspacing i would have to get. I have a '79.

I have Edelbrock 409 in chrome on mine..they are 16"...they look very similar to the TT2 but the five "spokes" are a little less rounded and more on the pointed side.....i was originally going with the TT2 but after seeing how many guys have them i wanted the same style but yet a little bit different...this is what i found.....
