need help with wheel find

Am looking for this type of wheel (10 spoke, not 12 spoke) in silver.

Anyone have any ideas? I know Team Dynamix makes a close one, but its 12 spoke.

Thanks in advance.

thanks Jb

i found that wheel and was seriously considering it. looks great.

i think the 10spoke looks a little sharper- more solid spokes.

like this





i haven't been able to find a 10 spoke, except these:

Are Excel's good? $118?

exel's?
hmm well i havent heard people talk about them very much.

i dont know much about rims, but to tell you the truth,
all these models of 9-12 spoke rims look almost the same.
only difference is the name and the color. lol.

but for the price, the TZ-10's is a pretty good deal.
118 for each, damn. snag that deal before its too late!


usually you'd see rims 150+ for the more popular brands.
y'know?

i want 16's.
you guys think those seki's will look good as 16's on the mini?
cuz for some reason i think the kei racing and the exel and the enkei rims will only look good as 17's or bigger.

hey JB

thanks for the info! i appreciate it! $60! Wooot!

I think youre right about the excel and enkei- they tend to look better a little bigger. I'd go 18"s, but I want to zip around corners like a maniac, so 17"s it is.

Seki's look goooood!
