Thinkin about getting these rims

Ive been looking around and I came across these.. I was going to get 18 inch 911 5 spoke wheels but i kinda like these better.. give me ur thoughts.. anyone with these wheels? They're a little much $$$ so would anyone know where to get them cheaper? Thanks.

You better be in love with your thin scrub brush because those honeycomb wheels are gonna need a lot of attention once a week to keep them clean.

For really nice, low cost Italian wheels, check out www.wheeldynamics.com

I got carrera lights from them and love them.

Those wheels look pretty snazzy. I sign off on them. And yeah, cleaning will be a whippin'.

To save others a click, here's a preview:



I have the same ones Randall has... they're Carrera replicas -but to me look better than the real thing because they're flush with the side of the car (whereas the factory rims are tucked in the fender a bit).
