Yeah 22", they have OZ center caps but they're actually Kahn RS-C wheels, I couldn't get Kahn center caps for them.

They were black originally, I refurb'd them myself.

When I read Kahn I all of a sudden felt rage. However those are actually not too bad, good job on the refurb.

And Zachary Quinto had a decent rendition of it as well. I did think of the Star Trek reference after I posted but initially it was because of Supercar Megabuild, a Nat Geo show. In one of the seasons Afzal Kahn was the main "boss guy" and was portrayed as a bit of a cock (possibly for the show, he may very well be a nice guy in real life) and all of his designs that they flashed were god-awful (like early 2000s The Fast and the Furious Honda civic body kits horrible) plus the shots they had from inside the Kahn shop showed them working with some absolutely abhorrent low quality fiberglass garbage that they were sticking onto all these cars. So that was the enraging part. Afterwards I did go check out the Kahn Designs website and it looks like his designs have at least aligned with the times, can't speak to quality.
