Ive had several wheels, and I recommend to find a newer version thats not a 2pc or 3pc wheel. they have inherent problems. Find a 1 pc thats forged or flow forged, never cast

Agree, find a monoblock with the look you want and then custom finish it to have that look, but without all the extra hardware. Not only is it a cleaner look, but the wheel won't leak and it will be lighter.
I've done that 3-piece look on 1-piece wheel on a couple of my vintage Porsches. I'm not a mesh centers guy, but those wheel types with the insert mesh center and extended lip are out there in a 1-piece design. Once you've painted the centers and polished the lips, have them ceramic coated too.
You get the idea.

I think all of you guys have very good points. Those wheels on my OP were soooo good looking on the car. I think I will listen to your advice though.
Thank you!

I'm running the RG5B's for my winter set up. But the OP's pic shows too many studs. BTW, they're significantly lighter than the OEM Sport Design wheels.
