Those are Torques Thrust D's...I bought them too.

I got 15x7, 5 bolt circle, 6mm offset, 3 3/4 backspacing, they fit perfectly.

This is the cheapest place you can find them, but unfortunately, they are out of stock right now:

If you are patient, wait until they offer them again, no tax, no shipping fees, and all bolts are included, and the wheels are the cheapest anywhere to beging with.

I hope that helped.

I just noticed you are looking for 17x8's, that's too big in my humble opinion.

Unless you are planning to modify your front fender and do that Shelby drop, you are going to have serious tire rubbing.

I actually want to getTT II's. What if I get 17x7 front and 17x8 rear? Would that stop the rubbing issue?

I think you'll be fine with the 17's. Shouldn't need any modification....get a 45 series tire
