Question Who makes wheels like this? (Torque Thrust Style)

Besides the obvious, as I got this link from American Racing rims site. But from what I see they dont' offer in the 18" size to fit my 2002 Lightning. I want something stock size 18", in a polished finish (not chrome), in the classic torque-thrust style. Is there anyone out there making anything like this? I have been looking somewhat without any luck...

AM makes a Torque-Thrust II in the five spoke, see page 74-75 of the December 02 StreetTrucks mag.

AM told me that they were not making it for our trucks anymore because of our 5x135 bolt pattern. A bunch of sets had been returned to the company, some problem with the drilling of the bolt pattern.

I have talked to a guy in Colorado that has a set and has had no problems. Now this Lincoln Navigator/F150 has a set. Maybe they have corrected the problem. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Mark. I have Foose Nitrous Thrust and I'm ready to sell them cheaper than anybody.

Anyone want some?... I'm ready. Call me.

If I didn't have the truck for sale it would be about time for some appearance mods. I need a little show to the go I suppose. Do you think wheels would help it sell better? Nah, probably not.

I hope those things aren't too cheap, I might need a set!
