Who is the Evil Twin to the R99 Wheel

I really like these wheels but don't want to pay the approx $2,575 + Dealer Install to get them

Can anybody reccomend the closest aftermarket wheel to these

Attched is a pic of the R99's on a MCS

THANKS

The Konig Random seems to be a fairly close match:

The HOW MUCH?!?!? Yikes! I bought four brand new R99s from the parts dept for $1,000. $250 each. About $600 for a set of tires, and $80 to get them mounted and balanced. Of course, if you get the factory runflats, that'll jack the price way up.

Ooo! Those Enkeis look pretty sharp. They actually look closer to the Audi RS4 wheels, which I think look even better than the R99s.

Check the NAM FS or CraigsList... I found my R99 set with new RF tires on CL for half the dealer price.
