The parts guy pointed me to the parts manager and said those were stock wheels that had been swapped out. As it turns out, they were a take-off set of Style 197 wheels...exactly the wheels I've been wanting to put on my convertible. I had those same wheels on our 08 convertible and always liked them. As much as I love the look of the zhp wheels, mine are in sad, sad shape....the PO let his kid drive the car a lot so mine are rashed almost the entire circumference and one even has a minor flat spot on the inside. So.....I contacted the owner of the wheels, made him an offer and stuffed them into the convertible (yes...some how they all fit). Now I'll clean them up with some elbow grease and Sonax Plus and schedule the swap with my local tire shop. I'll be saving the Style 135s for future refurbishing....but for now, $200 for these 197s was a no-brainer!
