Can't find wheel...

I'm not sure if this is the correct wheel I've seen before, maybe it was a team dynamics. Can someone point me to the right directions? The wheels look a lot like this:



Except the wheel spokes are more Flat instead of curvy. Anyone?

Never mind... I found it. MINI R99 Wheels. But their so expensive and heavy. Is there any similar alternatives?

That is not a R99 wheel. Firstly the R99s never came in black (only silver and anthracite), secondly the R99s have seven sets of double spokes not six, thirdly the spokes on that wheel curve in too much, lastly it is a five bolt pattern instead of the MINI 4x100. The Kosei K1 TS mentioned by jerjer are probably the closest match.

Why not go with the Enkei RPF-1? Way lighter, good quality, and lots cheaper than dealer OEM.

Sorry for the confusion, the ones I posted are RPF-1's. I was looking for something similar to it that I've seen before. The paired spoke look. I like the R99's because the spokes look longer and are flat instead of being curved. Does anyone know any place that has something similar?
