Default Can Anyone Identify These Rims?

I recently saw a very hot set of rims on a silver GS in San Francisco.

They were chrome, somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-15 spoke, and had a round center cap with a logo that was a "D" with a star going through it.

I want to say they were probably 20' inches.

Any guesses? I've searched the Internet, Rides magazine, everywhere, and can't even come up with the name of the brand, much less the exact style rim.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the shot, but no, not those...The "D" in the center had a little star going through it...kinda hard to explain, and they were chrome, and styled a little different.

Hoping someone from NorCal might be able to chime in, perhaps they've seen this car, so I've also posted to that forum...

What's the difference between the DF1 and DF4 (they look exactly the same)?

My eye must be off, can't really tell.

Which one is more ideal for a 2 Gen. GS?

The DF-4 is curved where the spokes meet the barrel. If I had to choose between the two I'd go for the DF-1's.

Appreciate the input. What size would you go with? Thinking 19 or 20?
