If you zoom-in/look closely at the wheels we currently have on our website, they have squared-lips and spokes that have a high-point on them, as opposed to being rounded like our old ones.

The offsets haven't changed, they have always been +30mm. It's only the spokes/lips that are different and are what's causing the change in look.

I apologize for any inconvenience, but I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions in the future! Have a great weekend!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this is incorrect, the older Bullitt 18x9s from AM are in fact 34mm offset and not 30mm, it's cast right into th back of one of the spokes. I just looked at one of mine that I purchased back in early 2008. I curbed one and need to get a replacement and I have found out the American Racing torque thrust m's look to be identical and they have a 34mm offset. This was confirmed by another member who was in the same boat as me and purchased one of the torque thrust m's as a replacement.
