I love the web spokes but...

I'm planning on ordering my Cooper S later this year. I really like the design of the web spoke OEM wheel as well as the R90 Anthracite web spoke. Problem is, both are really expensive, and if the posters at NAM are correct, they are heavy.

I've looked into aftermarket and so far the only alternative I can see is BBS stuff, and they are not cheap either. Anyone have suggestions or look-a-likes of the web spokes at decent prices by other companies?

Not sure how many spokes you're looking for, but this is a favorite of mine. A friend has them and they look very nice:

I don't really care about how many spokes, it's just something that looks similar.

Dwell, those are pretty sweet. How costly are they?

My black JCW wheels are very light and don't require the daily brake pad dust cleaning either although eventually you do see the brake dust as in this picture. They were sort of expensive but they make the car pop too!
