Pics of S-Lites

So, I just started a job that involves a lot of highway commuting. When I'm stuck in traffic, I tend to notice other people's wheels.

I'm a newbie to this aftermarket wheel thing and am just casually starting my search, but I decided that I want something that looks really good when the wheel is moving too, not just stationary.

Does anyone have any pictures of S-Lites when driving? I would love to see what they look like when moving.

Also, wheels that catch my eye are the ones that have a shiny bit in the middle of the wheel and the edge but the rest is almost see through when driving and you can see the calipers. What style of spokes do this when driving? The really skinny ones? Haha, does anyone want to help me out with this?! It's really confusing!

Sorry.... got no pics, but I think the S-lites look pretty cool when rolling. Your best bet might be to go on a MINI run (or get a friend with S-lites) and go down the road behind one one lane over.

Yep, fewer/skinnier spokes will more readily "go away" when the wheels are spinning.
