Hey, sorry for the late response. Been going through a lot. The rims are 19" ADR Spartans with Saleen center caps. I ordered the rims and caps off ebay:
ADR Spartan | eBay

Good luck!

There is a way to test your O2 sensors rather than just replacing them. You'll need a propane torch and a DVM.

Take them out and attach the sensor circuit (not heater circuit) to the DVM. They should read 0.0V in open air (completely lean.) Fire up the torch and completely immerse the tips in flame. The flame combusts all oxygen creating a rich condition. The reading should shoot up to 0.9-1.0V rapidly. If it doesn't make it to that level, or is very slow, it is probably bad. Repeat a few times to be sure, and make sure you use a large enough flame to immerse all of the tip.
