Default Who Makes the "Original" Version of This Wheel?

Does anyone know who makes the original version of this wheel? Reminds me of a Volk wheel, but I couldn't find it on the site. I like the style, but prefer a better brand, if you know what I mean.

HRE and iForged make a thinner spoke wheel like that style. The iForged are the Flux's in the 2 peice if you don't want rivets I believe.

I think 1 of my customers has a similiar set (6 spoke) with a better brand Brand New for sale, 20" Chrome, I think around $2500 range, if you like the price, I will ask for you but that set is for the NEW GS, so I am not sure about the fitment

Thanks for the lead, but I was looking to downsize to 18" wheels this time. I'd like to restore some ride quality with these lousy roads up here.

If you have 19's now, you could go with Fat 19 Setup, which will give you the same sidewall size as 18's without having to change wheels. You'll need to check wheel clearance though.
