I finally stumbled upon some wheels I really like... but the problem is more than obvious when checking the price. OUCH... serious reality check here!

By the way, the price listed on that page is only for one wheel. Yes, I said one wheel!

RS134 Monolites 16x7 & 17x8 for the Lotus Elise and Exige - Sector111

Anyone know of some reasonably priced wheels that look as close as possible to those? I don't care if they're "copies" or not... I'll take exact replicas of those... even "cheap" replicas!

Thanks

 

That was a set of four. Mentioned at the bottom of the page. Still a lot...

 

They are essentially copies of the BBS RK, except for the sharper edges of the spokes on your posted wheels. BBS RK's have been available in several different 4x100 fitments - 16x7 ET35, 17x7 ET42, etc... have all been available, but I don't think you can buy them new in those sizes any longer. Good luck shopping for a used set!

 

These have 4 "sets" of spokes but similar style...

 

search for wedssport tc105n same look and for half the price on that and it's a forged wheel..

 

The tc105n's are sweet, but they're 10 evenly spaced spokes rather than 5 groups of 2 like the OP's.

 

No it's not if you look closely at the wheels they are not evenly spaced out I had these wheels so I know. they are not as pronounced as the OP wheels though.

A few to look at.

 

I like the look of those Focals. It would be nice if Tirerack had some more specs(weights and offset) on them. I'm sure they will add the info as they get it though.

 

kinda reminds of the racing hart cp-10.

dunno who's pic this is...sorry for using w/out consent.

 

Oh, well hey, that makes all the difference in the world. I'll just go ahead and order those now since that's for an entire set! Lol!

Thanks for the heads-up. If you use the drop-down selectors on that page for color and quantity in the "Purchase Online" section, it seems as though you must choose quantity there. I mean, it's misleading to me... who purchases multiple sets of $3000.00+ wheels?

I just assumed that was a per wheel price. I liked the wheels, I saw the price, and basically never made it to the bottom of the page!

 

i'm pretty sure the tc105n's are MAT cast, i'm looking at buying a set this weekend

 

Work Emotions CR Kai are similar... the grouping of the 2 spokes are closer tho, but something to consider... i believe Rota also offers a replica of the CR Kai

 

^torque i believe Drag also makes the DR31 which IIRC is very similar

 

While we're on the topic of CR-Kai look-alikes, Rota also makes the Subzero. Replica of a RacingHart wheel I believe, the CP035 if I'm not mistaken.

Images of the wheels I like on "The Ride" itself! ('The Ride" itself as in "The Man" himself!)

Wheels are 17" rear - 15" front:

Come to think of it, forget the wheels... I'll just take the car!

Any chance of making my Fit look like those?

 

those RS134's do look real sexy. Kinda like milder Ford GT wheels.





not quite the same, but what about these?
Enkei PF01

 

Wow those Enkei PF01s are pretty light The 17x7 size would fit as they're +45mm offset.

The 16x7 +43 size would fit well too I think, just shy of 2mm offset. 14 lb/wheel at this size ain't bad at all!

 

Yeah, I've looked at a ton of wheels at this point and I like that particular Enkei a lot. The main reason for wheels is to go as light as possible, and of course, find something that looks really good. They are light. Not as light as some out there, yet the absolute lightest wheels are waaayyyyyy more than I want to spend on wheels at this time.

Those are nice looking wheels. I dare say, in some respects they are just as nice or nicer-looking then the originals.

Thanks

 

Thanks for the responses, everyone... appreciated!
