I currently have a 2003 Focus SVT with Kyowa Racing 210's (18's).

I previously had Alt Sonix in 17' (that I crashed on...oops)

I am looking at an 09 MS3 probably in black (possibly white...but I love black!)

As you can tell... I like that style of wheel. I know i want 18's and I know I want a similar wheel as the above. Now I have always liked red lips, but I like the inside lip the two above designs use (makes the wheels look bigger IMO).

So far I have found these which I like...but are not quite what I want... Tenzo DC-6's

I found this image of some Kyowa 210's like I have now with a CF pattern (That is a little too gaudy for my taste) BUT it has the red lip on the inside like I am intrigued about...

I dont know what the hell that site is, but it looks foreign. Anybody know if these really exist? They show a lot more listings for Kyowa wheels than Kyowa's own website (which is lacking at best).

If all else fails... I might springs for regular Sonix or 210's and try to have them painted/coated myself? When I say myself I mean I would source someone ELSE to do it lol. Is there a good way to do this without stripping the whole wheel? I dont want it to look like crap!

I also think a smaller red lip might look better (have half painted black/ half red so the stripe would be thinner?)

Ideas???
