It's photoshopped - I forgot who I grabbed the photo from.

I don't know about the SSR GT3s. That design looked great when it came out a while ago. Now, it looks pretty dated because it's been out for so long. I'd say it's at least a good 7 yrs old.

If you really like the 5 star twin spoke design w/o the bolts, I'd suggest the Work Emotion CR Kai:

Or the Ace Spyder which is a cheaper version of the Work Meister SZR:

http://www.customwheelsdirect.com/wh...il.php?id=5628

This HRE 847R looks like exactly what you're looking for, but it's pretty pricey:

This Yokohama AVS T5 is really nice too. Check out the magnified view to see the nice curved details of the spokes:

I love the look of both the AVS T5 and Work Emotions! I wonder how much they go for?

Thanks for the input. I really could care less if the wheels are an old style or not. I'm very picky and like what I like - I don't care if it's new or not if I like it. The first two links are nice wheels but not really what I'm looking for. The HRE's are PERFECT. OMG those are exactly it! I can't find the price on the link so I'll be searching. The SSR's are really budget busters for me. I will be saving for those for a while at about $550 a piece. I'm hoping the HRE's are cheaper or at least about the same because I like those much better. The Yokohama's are nice but a little too far apart for my taste.

Well I will have to for a little while I'm sure but I really don't like them so I'm not hopeful of them growing on me.

You don't want black wheels with the slate blue g, that would be urgly!
Have you seen the new M series Volks? They would look hot on your
S/B sedan........Good Luck!

Gary, do you mean the GT-M's? That's the ones that I find when I do a google search.

Ok, I found these two pics. Can you photoshop the wheels I listed in the first post onto these? I'm not sure how hard that is and if these are at the right angle but I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks!
