(wheel idea) Messin' with Solid Works

Just goofing around at the office (nothing better to do). What do yall think of this wheel? Its missing a few cosmetic things but the main idea is there. These are 18in.





Color/finish isn't set in stone but I like silver metallic myself.

Heres a pdf if anyone is interested

Yeah, I knew there was a reason why I couldn't find this design anywhere but NFSU2.

//Always been a fan of 3 spoke designs, but I do think these would look better on a miata than a cl.

Why 5 lug? That won't fit 1st Gen 3.0 or 2.x, unless...

Is the '99 a 5 lug pattern? Because, '97 & '98 aren't.
