So yeah, my 17 stockers are in not the best of shape and are less than exciting. Going to need tires soon and not wanting to commit to 20k more miles of 17" I've been wheel browsing.

I am a 5 spoke guy. I only find 5 spokes, or 10 spokes grouped into 2's to be appealing. I love the Barcelonas but these look really good too, and they are pretty cheap.

I like them...but the R is a total deal breaker.

Haha, I have seen your wheels and they are not my cup of tea. Sorry, maybe I should mention that 5 spokes that get progressively skinnier or fatter as they travel from the hub to the rim or vice versa don't look as good to me.

Normally, some other car manufacture word or symbol on my wheel would bother me but the "R" is just ambiguous enough to be acceptable.

Yeah, I have found some on craiglst myself and even more were sent to me by jjcool00. Some very good deals are to be had on these wheels if you go the used route and that is extremely tempting, but the machined finish version I think looks excellent and I haven't seen any used ones yet.

I like em. These are similar http://www.ebay.com/itm/18x8-Motegi...Parts_Accessories&hash=item257d66e7d7&vxp=mtr

I like those and that style (obviously since I have this style).

But finding these styles in 19 or 20 seems to be the most difficult part aside from 5x108.

 

[Upstairs Chris]

Yeah, the 19's are spoken of but can't find anywhere. Haven't even heard of 20's.

 

[stugots]

It's a good looking wheel.There's 17's for sale around me.

remember that buying new will mean you will need to get tires, and decent new tires for 18" and up are expensive. You will easily double or triple your costs from what you could potentially find new. Granted new is always better - but it is going to cost a pretty penny.
