What Kind of Wheels Are these?

I ran into a picture of one of Duell AG's demo cars and I love the wheels! I thought they were OZ Superturismo LM's but they look slightly different.

"Mystery" Wheels

OZ Superturismo LM's

As you can see, the OZ wheels are slightly bent as they get towards the center, whereas the wheels I want (top picture) are completely straight and look super sexy (in my opinion, not that the Superturismo's aren't!)

Much thanks in advance!

Looks very similar to the Versus Sesto Turismo 15 Spoke.

They look similar to the Sesto Turismo, however, the sesto is a lot smoother in the hub area, but it looks attractive nonetheless!

Here's a picture with a better angle of these mystery wheels

They are Rays 57Motorsport G07WT. These are cast 1 piece wheels. They sell for about $550-650 each.

And so they are! Glad to finally have them identified, not so glad about the price, though. Thanks!

The OZ's seem fine, they're half the price for something that looks extremely similar

On a side note, I'm going to be starting a project on fitting an R56 JCW rear bumper on my r53 MCS. The bumper should be coming tomorrow. I'm dubbing it "Project: Dat ***." You will understand from the pic below!

It was done by a user named Maverick at Minitorque. Here is the link for those that are interested
