16" DS Wheels for DS/B MCS??

I'm looking for some DS wheels in 16" - I really like the look of the SSR Comps that I've seen on several DS MCSs here, but don't want to (and can't) spend >$300 per wheel for new rims.

Anybody got ideas for similar looking DS rims (anthracite, steel grey, gunmetal, etc etc) that are in the ~$150/wheel range?

I have been looking at Rotas - they seem to have a pretty good reputation (here & on Miata forums). That leads me to my next question - anyone have any feedback on the internet dealers that carry Rotas? (Wheeldude & Jaydm)?

Thanks for the help!!!
-John

I have dark gray 16 inch Rota GT3's with the polished lip. I bought them on eBay for around $125/wheel. I can't remember the name of the vendor, but he was very personable had did an excellent job with communication. As always, buyer beware when shopping on eBay.

I also bought hubcentric rings for the wheels through R-Speed. I think they also sell Rotas, but they didn't have the color combination I wanted.

You can see pics of my dks/dks MCS with the GT3's mounted in my gallery. I think the colors are a pretty close match, but not exact.

Hope this helps...

vin.

Ask and ye shall receive. Just had these Konig Trouble 16" put on and I am diggin' 'em. It's a lot nicer ride than my 17" chrome s-lites... although those were some pretty blingy rims.

Nice rims!! I like the 'steel grey' color of the Rotas, and those Konigs look sweet too! Thanks!
