I looked at those myself.
Those are Sportmax 962's
http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_962.shtml

Its kind of a bold statement, But I saw them on a white 240....looked badass.

Im still trying to find these.


They were discontinued......but I hear you can still find them. (Ive been unsuccessful to this point)

Speed star D5R. Instead of a satin lip....its chrome. They look GREAT.!!

You may not find too many people that like the "White/Gold" look. But I think it looks sharp.

You should just get your rims repaired or try to find a used set.

yes i do but they need to be repaired. once they are repaird i might sell them or keep them as my dailys and use the gold ones for autocross. this thread really isnt about my old wheels but yeah they are volks.

im really not trying to upgrade from the volks, im trying to do a nice downgrade
