Default Another "What rims Are these thread"

I fell in love with these rims the first time I laid eyes on them. Problem is I have no clue who makes them, what they are called or where to find them. I have looked at hundreds of rim sales sites on the net and never seen them anywhere. Seen a few sets that were close but not the same. Only seen pictures of two cars with them also and here are those pics.








Any info anyone can provide would be great.

Search for Veloce. I think that was it. Colin at 9m used them in the past. Very light and not made anymore. Very light. Volk TE37 are a similar 6 spoke.

They are Enkei EV5 wheels.

Not the Veloce. The veloces flare out at the end of the spoke.

Thanks for all the leads guys. I'm not sure any are the actual correct rim. I'm being a bit **** I admit. Here's what I see. They are all very close. In the pictures I posted you will notice the lug nuts are 90% contained in the raised portion of each spoke. not the hub opening circle but the circle formed by where the spokes/lug nut holes end is smaller. I also notice that the spokes do not have much of a taper from center outward. Also, the bend at the outermost part of the spoke is a 90 degree bend. This makes the crack you would have to clean out when they are dirty very small. Like I said I'm being ****... why are all these little details important? because when you add them together... the smaller crack, smaller circle and the lugs mostly in the raised spoke portion along with what is a smaller taper makes the spokes on the pics I posted look longer and thinner. Which is why I like them. Kinda like a woman with long shapely legs.

To me the ALT Miro 371's (Full Boost's Link) are very close but the spokes don't look as long to me. The Axis Hiro's are probably the closest.

Thanks for your effort guys at least now I have some options to consider for the future

There is a 964 with similar rims for sale on the member sale or 964 board right now. Give those a look.
