I would look less for somethign that no one else has heard of, and look for something more to your taste.

If no one has it, in general case its because its found ugly. You could look at italian made BMW rims with the same bolt pattern as the camaro (i forget the name, but know they make them), which ive never seen anyone run, but generally cuz they dont look to good. Point in case, find something you enjoy, not something thats unheard of!

Our wheels are well known on LS1tech, but our deep dish wheels are so new that not a lot of people have them. I've actually never even seen a set out driving. Good Luck on your search.

You could look into Fikse, iForged, DPE, or other higher end brands. Even if someone has a similar set it will be fairly rare (except FM5s). Look to spend $2500+ on a set though.

What wheel finish are you looking for?

IMO, take a look at TSW wheels.
