Looking for: R99 look-alikes

Anyone have any idea for aftermarket wheels that look similar to the R99s? I totally dig them, but for the price. 17" with a light weight are pluses. Thanks in advance.

Red Skunk, I don't know how much you plan to spend, and the 07 price went through the roof, but I got lucky and found a set of genuine R99's from a dealer in TN and got them for $810 including shipping ($50). That seemed like a really good price to me. Now, if I can only get my Mini here! OL still says "En Route", but it must stay that way for weeks. It was discharged from the ship on the 11th! Anyway, I have great wheels!! lol

I bought a brand new set of the Grey R99s from the local dealer for a little over $800 after taxes. I believe I also got a discount for belonging to the local club though, so YMMV.

No, a tick over $800 isn't bad at all. But the weight is still really iffy, to me at least.. When I eventually get some new wheels, I want to go up a size and down in weight.

Yeah, those Koseis are O-K. I've thought about them. Anyone else?
