I knew what you meant, it took me a minute tho.

I think I saw those Konigs on a white Corolla this morning. Didn't look too bad, but not my tastes.

DTN - after posting that pic above of the 5 spoke, it actually caught my attention. They're just so ordinary and common.
Wheels make such a huge difference on a car. And if I'm dropping $1,500+ on rims alone, I must be in love with them.

I went through tons of pics in the official "wheels" thread on GC.com and didn't see any I liked.

Thoughts on these for a white GC?






These are 18s with a drop. I'd probably get 19s without the drop

I really like that, but I would prefer something with fewer spokes.

If I had unlimited funds, this would be my ultimate choice, but I will not pay BBS prices ($900/wheel?!):

BBS RS-GT

I like the Tenzo M and Tenzo Meister if they came in 6-8 split spokes instead of 10 spoke split
If the Tenzo DC-5 came in Silver, I'd consider 'em

ugh, and they only go up to 18"

^haha i was just about to mention that one! the BBS's that some Porsche's come with. My only problem with those is that they're too BMW-like.

$900/wheel? WTF.

i'm out of ideas. those two designs are the only mesh kind that i really like. i think you're on the right track though. classy, but not tuner.
