Question Rims

I have a 2006 Roadster and am looking to change the rims. I saw some great rims on the Shadow Design roadster but can't make out the manufacturer or size from the picture, tried looking at most places on the net without sucess...does anyone know who distributes these rims... thanks..

Forum rule #12:

Always complain about wheels that you cannot find rather than select from the hundreds available.

Default complaining?

Your right there are hundreds of great wheels out there I just happened to see those on the Shadow; so I guess you can't help then?

Your'e right....I don't really care what others think I am just checking some ideas out. I haven't seen to many roadsters modified...in the 18 months I have had the car I have only seen one other 350GTR and it looked crap, huge spoiler and ugly wheels... I would have thought in a city of a couple of million I would have seen more......perhaps I don't get out much!

^Not the same as what you had in post #8 but that doesn't look bad at all. Much better than those chrome Weds.

Damn, whats with the threadjack A3VT 74?

Welcome to the forum OP. You will not get much positive feedback on those wheels because they aren't really sports car wheels as you can tell by the website link Z1 posted. That being said you could do much worse than Weds...they make good wheels but consider the silver/polish finish. Those style wheels in chrome will look cheap IMO.
