tire frustrations

First off I love the Konig Rewinds. But they don't come in a larger size than 15. I want a 17 or 18 so I move onto the ASAJH6 but they only come in silver or chrome.

Does anyone know if there is a rim out there that is very close to konig rewinds/ASAJH6 that comes in 17 or 18 and gunmetal or bronze???

How about the Panasports?

They look similar.

I have Panasports on my Miata. Very nice wheels & to me they are strong. I ran them on my rally car with zero problems. The ASA JH6 that I just got for my MINI are nice too. The finish is better than what's on the Panansports. As far as strength goes they seem to be made a little lighter in the spokes that the Panas. If you don't like the finish on the JH6 wheels why not have them painted?

I think hat powder coat would be more durable than paint, but will cost much more than paint. How much you say? Well I don't know. Best do a walk through the phone book & do some calling.
