by the way, that^^^ isn't my car.

this is:

yes, it even has the sunroof mounted gunship option, very rare, and dealer installed. usually around air force bases, i imagine.

The GMC motorhome is pretty cool.

Are these wheels a factory option? Like... would they appear in a dealer brochure?

I know I use to see them in my Summit catalogs I used to get way, way back in the day. I just can't recall a name. They seem to be pretty thin on the ground whatever they are called.

That's not a helicopter, that's a gunship boy.

Imma let you finish, but the Flyin Miata Hairless Racoon Sunroof Mod is the greatest sunroof mod of all time!

I'm having a bad day smarts-wise...

Do you already have a set of the wheels you are asking about? The blue car appears to me to have the same wheels as the red one. So I am confused.

And IIRC it's the Army and Marines that operate them, not the Air Force. The Air Force flies jets. :)

You won't find new ones, they were made till the late 00's. I'm looking through my brochures now to find the name. There was a set 4x108 on Indy CL in April when I was there on business and I almost bought them because they were unusually wide (I like oddities)!
