The never ending wheel search!

So I am sure many of us have had this problem. I want to buy some wheels for my MCS, but I just cant find anything that I am in love with. Typically I know exactly what I want right when I see it, but I have been searching through wheel websites for hours and hours and have not quite found what I am looking for. Yes, I did searched through all 265 pages of the wheel show-off thread on this site. My mini is e-blue with a black top, so I want a set of black wheels for it because I think it will look good. My problem is that I dont like all black wheels, I want them to have some sort of chrome or polished section incorporated somewhere on the wheel. So if anyone has any idea or suggestion I would love to see them. Here are a couple examples that I have found so far that I like. If anyone has any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate the help.

Yeah, I do like those. Who makes them?

Here are a few others I found that I like.

Shouldn't this thread be in the Wheels and Brakes Forum?

well If you like the black w/ polished face look here's my rims.
after I saw them in person I didn't like them as much b/c they were shinier than I expected them, these wheels are also available in matte black, matte charcoal, black w/ red lip, white w/ red lip, black w/ white lip... lots of choices. If $$$ wasn't a major factor in my wheel choice i'd have the SSR type C's for sure


I'll get a better picture close up tomorrow
