Are you looking for 5 spoke rims in general or the 5 fat spokes exactly like the Type-S rims?

Mille Miglias are some heavy ass rims but they draw certain comparisons to the Type-S wheels in the way they look. Check on tirerack, they have some 18'' and 19'' rims from MM that actually are pretty nice and are probably what you are looking for. I actually saw a set of them on an Anthracite TL-S about a year ago on the Belt Parkway, and I was definitely impressed; it made my stock TL-S (at the time) look fairly weak!

these numbers are taken to be in inches. if you multiply by 25.4mm, you will get the equivalent. conversely, divide the others and you will get something similar.

So, they're really 5x114.3 wheels then....

Too bad they don't come bigger than 17's
