The 8445 Indy Storm, that is. :)

You might want to look at the 8458 Silver Champion
a bit closer..
Those wheels are *Super Car* size. This set may well
be the longest Technic Car ever produced...

The wheels are the type found on the 8445, but,
as near as I can tell, in black rather than metallic
or another color. Some here already have this set
(it's available in both Europe and the US now), and
shuold be able to better confirm this.

If you just want the wheels, the 8520 Millenium Throwbot
is probably the cheapest way to get them. All other
sets that they've come in are larger and more expensive
ones.
