Default Lil help finding 18" Gold Mesh wheels

I really like the idea of gold mesh wheels on my BSP xB like the ones in this thread:

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=178368

But, both of those sets of wheels are like $2000+

I am not looking to spend that much, I am looking for under $800 for a set of 18" wheels.

I don't care what brand, but I just cannot find wheels like that anywhere.

Anyone care to help?

How about these? These are about $1,100.

Holy crap, those are really close! I am gonna have your baby!



Much better than the other wheels I was considering...



That site only shows wheel + tire packages, so depending on the prices without tires, I may get the package or get some nicer tires elsewhere. (So far, wheels found for $180 each) The only way they could be closer would be 10/20 spokes instead of 8/16 (8 split into 16).

Thanks again! Now, do you want a boy or a girl?

I bet you can call them and get different tires if you want for an additional charge.

As far as the baby goes...NO THANKS...I already have 4 kids.

In the interest of money, I am considering these:

I realize they are black; I am kinda split on black or gold mesh rims, but I figure I can mask them off and paint them gold if I want to. I prefer they were painted factory gold, but they are only $125 each shipped, vs. 205 shipped for the R1 Racing set. I dunno, I have plenty of time to decide. Thanks again for the help, and let me know if you change your mind about the baby!

I think it is the way the spokes meet the outer rim, and the shape of the spokes. Look at the link in my last post. I am going with those rims, and I will prolly paint them gold at some point.
