Default What wheels are these?

I think these wheels look awesome, but I haven't been able to locate them yet....they kinda remind me of some Ferrari wheels. Anyone know who makes them & what model they are?:

They look similar to Ronal RT's, but it's hard to tell much from that picture.

yeah, those are very similar, but the one in the pic i posted flare in at the outer edge of the rim on each spoke, while the Ronal's flare outward on each spoke near the outer edge.

Side-by-side comparison:



anyone else? i'd really like to find these rims

Woops, I thought I had it. Good luck finding it though. Where did you get that pic? If you got it off of a website, have you tried contacting that company?

Those were called MAC... don't think they make them anymore. I might have a brochure at my parents house from like '96. I remember seeing those in a rim shop in SA and on a BMW. Good luck in your search.

DAMN, I ROCK

I wanna say that the wheel you found is the only one they made. If I remember correctly, they were just MAC. The brochure I had just had that one rim on a bunch of different cars. I might go so far to say that you'll only find the BMW bolt pattern. Good luck and let us know if you find a set.
