Never liked that style of wheel...looks to much like an HP EVO wheel which imo is ...but if you like them its all that matters

I like them, if they had no rivets, even better. I think they make them with out rivets as well.

I don't know what they're going for now, but when I bought my DPE's (from Nine Ball on this board), they were about $1000 less than that, and they offer the R16, which is a very similar design. Nine Ball let me pick between the R05-S and the R16 for the same price.

I've got the R05-S variant on my Camaro in 18x9/18x10, and they fit PERFECTLY. No spacers and no rubbing. DPE's can be ordered with or without rivets.

If you have to have a stepped lip, the Fikse FM10 is also a similar design, and they make wheels that fit F-bodies. Nine Ball is also a Fikse dealer. Pricing will depend on size, of course.
