I like the tires but those wheels look like Spider-Man designed them.

Alright guys, I really beg of your help now. I'm ready to unload some $$ on wheels but I'm so picky, and I can't find the right one...

I need something very similar to the following...



R99, their too heavy, and too expensive although their on sale for 200$ a piece for Grey...these are my back-ups...


Team Dynamics Motorsports (Courtesy of KHD) But these wheels are discontinued...and seems impossible to find. I've contacted 3 sources with no feedback...

I know of Enkei RPF1's but I don't like the spokes as their short, curved, and too skinny. I saw another set somewhere in this 200+ page thread but can't find it... any help would help me out a lot.

Anyone ever seen Rota RBs in white? I'd like to get a set of them in a white that matches my white top.....

Would powdercoating or painting a set of them be adviseable? I'm afraid the paint wouldn't be very durable.

I just got a set of 4 ASA AR2s with Goodyear Eagle F1s from TireRack. You can see them on Pg 278 on varying color of MCS. THey are an awesome wheel/tire look.

Definitely agree with that. I don't think the GT7's have a clean design at all. What Volks does Alpha Motoring have??? Now THOSE are stunning Volks
