Default Help me find wheels for Old Blue!

Okay, I've been window shopping for days now...I keep dancing around what I'm looking for, but I can't find it exactly. So...does anyone know of a white wheel with 6 or 7 spokes (NOT 5) that are fairly wide, flat, and don't taper at all? I want 'em straight, like wagon wheels - the cleaner the better. Otherwise, I will probably end up buying either of these (opinions encouraged):


^^^ I would get these in silver, not chrome.


^^^ Not exactly what I described, but these are growing on me.

Please help

One vote for each, huh? You guys are no help I'm leaning towards the Diablos (top one)...but we shall see...

Mac, I'd rather not go bigger than 17"

Thanks!

Personally, I wonder if gunmetal is somewhere in no-man's land for a BOP - I would either go really bright or really black. But it's too hard to imagine without actually seeing it on the Box. And I like that shape (I'd like it more if the spokes were a bit wider, but that's me). If you get those, I'll be real curious to see how it looks.

Don't worry, no one will mistake my xB for a Beetle.

Thanks, all

^^^Okay, those look great (just realized I missed the link you posted). I'll take my foot out of my mouth now. I still want big flat spokes on mine though...hopefully no one will be offended by my taste.
