I know this could go in the interior mod forum, but sadly, no one seems to pay nearly as much attention in the sub-forums. Anyway, I have been looking for clean, normal, five-spokes that are machined face. Also want 18x9 with at least 35mm offset. These are the best I can find. Has anyone seen anything similar. Also, what do you think of these?

Are you looking at the chrome or the other one? The spokes look good, but personally, I don't like how they curl in at the edge of the rim.

I am looking at the machined, not the chrome. I agree, the only thing I am not big on is the break at the rim.

Try this place. www.bigcustomwheels.com
They have a huge selection, GREAT customer service, and even a section where you can put in the EXACT size wheel you're looking for. Including the offset!

I have seen those as well, on discount tires site. IMO, they are ok but agree with the others on where the "blade" meets the rim. So far my 3 favorite 5 spoke design rims are the privat kraftwerk, the HPracing R-5, and the Roh 5 spoke. check out

I think you mean exterior mod forum, unless you plan on keeping them in the back seat. Okay I couldn't resist.

Not loving them. I prefer rims where the spokes do not blend in with the lip of the rim. I like something along the lines of deep dish. Also, looking at the pic of the car that has the rims on it, I don't think they suit the stang.

Same with me!
KCT, those rims off the car I wouldn't like, sometimes it's a different story though when I get to see something actually installed on a car.
