Hard to find - they came on the 30th anniversary edition T/As which were painted white with blue striping. Don't think that too many 30th anniversary T/A owners would want to part with such a rare wheel. Look here http://www.30th-ta.org/ to see what they look like.

If you want the 30th wheels in Black, then that means you want Collector Edition wheels

oh and a little fact about the 30th Anniversary wheels. They are always thought to be anodized, but the truth is they are high polished WS6 wheels with a Blue-tinted clearcoat over them. So the color comes from the clearcoat, which can be a big problem if you happen to scratch or they start to peel. Making a matching repair would be a pain. eww! Still love em though!

That's an interesting tidbit of information (the blue clearcoat on polished wheels).

Fortunately having wheels refinished these days aren't TOO expensive. Transwheel Corporation will do a strip/powder coat for about $100/wheel. (Found that out the hard way when two of the block-heads in my shop gouged 3 out of 4 white Saleen rims on a customer's mustang.)
