Default Rim Search Help! (I'm losing my mind)

I need advice from people who are in the know! I know we have some Rim experts on SL. I need you professional advice. My xB looks so much better with Black Rim's on it. I don't think I will be happy if I have to put my sliver ones back on this summer.

What I am looking for...
16's
All black
Fatty spokes
With some kind of lug cover
and of course...
The cheaper the better.

If you have something or have seen something please post up. I Found some I liked but can't find the site I found them on (I have been on so many). I think I'm going crazy. I love my Enkei's, but I need black. Please help me on my search. Even if they have stopped making them I am will to look for used if it's some thing I like.

What about some Rota Slipstreams? They have a centercap, but it doesn't cover the lugs. These area knock-off of Spoon/Desmond wheels (really expensive rims often found on high-end Hondas), but they are cheap, light, and look good.



There are numerous companies that make wheels that look like this including Speedy Wheels.

Rota, You say? I'll check them out. I like the smooth look of these. A lug cover would put them over the top. Thanks!

I like yours. They are sweet! But I was looking for something all year around.

Maybe if you sit on them a little longer I'll get a better price from ya (grin).

Very nice! They have some good deals on wheel tire packages. Not so much in the 16 department however.

I like these if they only had a way to hide the lugs.

I guess they just don't make what I'm looking for. It didn't seem to me to be unreasonable.

I don't know why they would make it look so smooth but leave out the lug cover?
