Those look very much like the BMW M3 wheels. Probably one of my favorite factory wheels of all time.



Personally, I think the BMW wheels look nicer, even if they don't have the same lip. I believe they refer to it as the M3 Evolution or Evo wheel.

iForged has a new wheel called the Fabulous that you could probably get in a 4 lug...


And of course there is always the 20rl2, 20rl3 and 20sl2 from JLine...




I am sure if you are that set on a similar design one of those would probably fit the bill for you. But if you want to save money, and buy a lower quality wheel, there are options there, too. You can always go with a TIS07 in 20x7.5...


Hope that helps.

Just remember, that if you add a spacer/adapter you can kiss any chance of a decent lip good buy. A wheel this style with exposed 4 lug pattern my look a little odd, but it is probably better than a 5 lug version with no lip.

Darren, Do you have someone local who does the machining or do you buy a commercial brand. If commercial, what brand do you use? I have seen a couple options out there and just curious as to who you use. Some brands I would be willing to give a shot. Others.... NOT A CHANCE.

Similar, but it is a split 8 spoke instead of a split 10. Asanti also has a wheel that is very similar called the AF128.

Actually in the Ray's catalog, there is a blue bB with them one behind a Nissan Cube. To bad the bB just has the wheels and nothing else while the Cube is all pimped out.

thoes are some pretty tight ___ rims. so sad you cant put them on your car. so i think there should be a company that makes rims that look like a really expensive brand. then sell them for less and diff. patterns... we'll call this brand... "Rota".
