Name these wheels... PLEASE !!!

OK fellow boardmembers, i really need help with this one. First off, let me start from the beginning. I originally started on my 68 project as a demonic, pro-street, in your face, running on the ragged edge of streetability, big block propelled vehicle. Well, just as trends change, or should i say evolve, so do people. This years Hot Rod Power Tour was probably the first turning point for me. Viewing all the latest trends and techno first hand, getting to speak to many of these people from all over the country, i've finally put together a master plan for the 68 that i feel will result in a more reliable, modern , functional and comfortable cruizer .

The truck will still have a pro-street look to it, just like in the pics that will follow. Instead of running 15 " wheels, i'll step up to 17" To be exact, 17x7 and 17x11's

Surely it will still be big block powered, just a little more well mannered, and hopefully multi-port fuel injected $$$$ (eventually)

I've already swapped to a 9 inch rear for easier gear changes and presently i'm looking at rear disc setups.

Now getting back on the subject of this thread, as for as the exterior goes, i'm planning on a mirror image of the truck below, with the only changes being black paint instead of red ( i have a red one already ) and keeping my factory mirrors. And finally....... on to the million dollar question !

I need to know for certain what kind of wheels are these. The article ( Truckin' Jan. 2003 ) states that they are Billet Specialties Visions. Well, after talking to a salesman there, he says they dont have a wheel named "visions" .

Okay, i'm thinking maybe there was a typographical error in the article and they meant to say Billet Specialties "Vintecs" They do look pretty close, but i'm not sure. The pics on billet specialties web site seem like they maybe a larger diameter wheel like maybe a 20" Is that the difference i'm seeing? The center caps are different but that may be a design change. I believe this truck was built about 2 years ago.

Well, here goes! Any wheel guru's out there?

How about you N2TRUX, your running "vintecs"
