Black Wheels w/ polished lip (GP like)

I am looking to buy new wheels and remember seeing a wheel that was kinda like the GP Wheel but can't find the picture. I am not looking for the GP Replica (I am considering them) but if you have any cool black wheel with a polished lip please post some pictures.

My wheels aren't here yet, but this picture indicates the finish ...

I'm going with the Mach V rather than the FM5.

I believe that these are the Tenzo DC 5 Type 1 in the correct offset - similar to the polished lip Type 2s you like... I think.

My Fikse wheels arrived today! I'll try to post some natural light photos soon. These flash pictures aren't all that great.

well... i actually have 5 wheels... one was bent slightly and have a medium sized rash about an inch long... but it should be an easy fix

they have been discontinued as well, but if you are up for it... i am looking for 600 CDN... with our without tires depending on whether you want the Azenis on them now (40% tread front and rear, as i rotate religiously)

btw, PGT... how do you keep that caliper so clean!

Man I hope I find something that I like soon or I might be forced to go with the replicas.



These are nice but heavy.(OZ Canova) 25 lbs



And these are nice but generic lug pattern with more the 4 holes.
