Theyre still better than having two bolt pattern on the same rim.

Those are a lot nicer but still have the dual-lug cheapness .. I don't like 6 spoked wheels either, 5 or 7 look better to me. Those still look pretty good for 6 spokes though. Maybe I'm just too picky but if I'm gonna drop a grand on wheels I don't want too look at them every morning with any regret at all.

Should look good. Probably will be difficult to clean though.

I remember looking for rims a couple years ago and never did find a set I would prefer over the stock rims.
I would go with Shoguns if they were still available. The only other rims I considered were the Focal F5's.

OK still shopping
Found these for very cheap ($300), brand new : 19x7.5, 5x114.3, +47mm

I know 19s are kinda overkill, but these are cheaper than most 18s I've found, and I can get 235-35-19 tires for a reasonable cost from my friend's dad. I decided that I think multi bolt patterns and no lip both suck, so thanks guys. Also, I'm no longer a huge fan of 6-spokes. This thread has been fun and educational.

I like the general design of those, except, imho, I don't like the "rivets" between the spokes, nor do I particualry like the arch of the spoke, I think they would look better with a flatter spoke, but then again sometimes it's tough to tell when they aren't on (or right next to) the car.

I'm not a huge fan of the rivet thingys either, but I love the arching spokes. I started to pay attention to that kind of wheel when I saw Dayle's ROH Fury 19s.

They look like Wolverine's claws or something. Cool. I'd never seen wheels like that before. You should get em!

Those really complement the chrome strip going around the car as well.

That's the SVX from Calgary I saw when I was going through BC on my way to the Seafood meet. He contacted me a couple days ago on MSN.

I like them. But there's a rivet missing, which is something I guess you have to keep an eye on during normal use. Sorta like the hubcaps that fly off. IT gives you something to think about with the rivet design.

Would that not be to accomodate the rubber tire inflator dealie?
PS: Purchased these.
