Looking for some similar concaves
Well, seeing as the wheels I liked don't fit TLs, I was wondering if anyone knew of any manufacturers producing a similar style?
The style in question.
I know Tenzo makes something similar, but anyone else?
Thanks for any help.

Drag DR-34 Similar, but cast not forged. $580 for a set in 18x8 +35 from DTD.
I just picked up a set in GM w/mach. lip. I'm happy so far, even though they are not ultimately what I wanted.
These are what I really wanted, but it's hard for me to justify almost 6x the price.

I completely understand on the BBS front. I think anyone would be happy with them, but the price is hard to swallow on smaller budgets.
Like you, the Drags aren't really what I want, but for the price, I guess I can't complain. Right now, I think the 5Zigen ZRs are my best bet within my price range.
Not exactly the same, but still a double 6-spoke concave.

Get the wheels you want bro. There are lug nuts made that will allow you to run 5x112mm wheels without any other modifications. There are pricey but seem worth it. Heres a link to them... http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com...n=item&id=2890
Google search them for more pictures

I was just looking at these wheels and thinking DAMN they don't make them in 114mm size. Someone should email VMR telling them that 5x114 guys like them and that there should be some with that bolt pattern too.
has anyone used those wobble lug nuts? I considered it before but I wanna see someone do it first.

if u want 5x112 get the wobble or pcd variation lug nut. i just picked up a set today for my wheels that are going to go on. just make sure your wheel is hub centric. or you are running hub ring. and u will be golden!

ok here is your first problem, the bolt pattern
in order to get an adapter, they are usually 1" thick... which is 25mm... so off the bat you have a +35 wheel with a 25mm spacer which equates to a +10 offset... mega-poke.... mega-rub, and everthing in between
here is an alternative, you can have teh wheel drilled to be a 5x114.3... I havent seen what it looks like post drilling nor do I suggest having it done... but if you love the wheel very much go for it
likelyhood of them clearing the brembos is good...

Those Kyowa Ravens look pretty good actually but I couldn't find an specs on them.
What is our factory center bore? I like the look of those wheels. The whole VIP trend is
to me. I'd like to see what some Euro Styling would do for our cars.
