tsw kyalami anyone?

I'd like to keep 16 inch rims, just prefer the look and the ride. I love the asa ar1's but they are discontinued in the 16inch. The r90's to get in Canada are over $300 each. I've been looking at these. What do you think? Anyone have them or have pics? Or can someone recommend a wheel similar to the r90 in a 16inch. Thanks

OZ Ultraleggera's are similar in design to the wheel in the photo, and are available in 16". Probably lighter too.

I have been looking at the same wheels for pretty much the same reasons. I'll need a set of wheels/tires for next winter. If you decide on the Kyalamis, please post pix. Here's one photo off the TSW site.
