wow, that's a tough one. good job on the old Umknowns. you're current paint job (beautiful by the way) has an old skool look to it. I see something like Work Led Sleds on it - or Work Goo Car Hemi's. money's no object, right?

what about some parallel five spokes (like ADR's or Enkei's) and paint every other spoke black and gold? Jaz has a rim you might like if you like the Unknown.

money really isnt an object...because wheels im very very picky about...and i'll pay for a wheel if i have too lol.

as for your parallel five spokes thats kinda what i was thinking..everyother...im just wondering what color to the the lip as well. i think i left that out. i dont know what would be better a black lip or a gold lip...hrm. i dont think black/gold spokes with a polished lip would look good. i dunno. im really at a loss so any help would be amazing.

FWIW, I think that would look good, not to mention unique (AFAIK).

If money is no object you should be looking at a quality billet or forged wheel. Take a look at the following companies.

http://www.introwheels.com
http://www.idluxurywheels.com
http://www.iforged.com
http://www.jlinewheels.com

All of those brands offer custom finishes if you are willing to pay for it. Everything from paint, to powder coat, to anodizing. Or you could just order them polished and do the custom finishing yourself. And while they may be expensive, the quality is second to none.

If you are interested in anything from any of these companies, let me know. Especially something from Intro or ID Luxury. I have a friend who works for them, and I can put you in contact with him.

well - there's your man. he's got all the right companies listed. ooooh, custom color JLines. sweet.
I still think you should look at Led Sleds or Goo Car Hemis.

I-forged has a wheel called the "retro" that you should really look at. Multi-spoke design, almost a 70 style wheel. Hard to paint them, pain to keep clean, but awesome wheel.

The nice thing about all of the companies I listed is that they offer custom finishes. Like I said, everything from polished, to satin, to paint, to powder coating to anodizing. Take your pick. It is just a matter of how much you want to pay.

honey0bucket 08-04-2006 02:11 AM

im not worried about painting them..i can do all that on my own..i just need a wheel to do it to!

thanks for all the ideas and keep them commming if you come across anythign that might look good.

RTon20s 08-04-2006 04:07 PM

Well if you are looking for something with "pockets" or "windows" in the design you are kind of limited. Pretty much any wheel would work if you wanted to paint the whole center.

If you are looking for pockets to paint, Intro may be your best bet of the wheel lines I mentioned. Here are a few options they may work. (You will have to talk to them about using 4 lug.)

SMOOTHIES baby. some big ol' fat smoothies to sit under that fine paint job.
