      Help me: Modern wheels with a Pontiac theme (pics inside)

      I understand there are some reproduction 18 inch plus rally II's now. I'm not looking for rally replicas in an 18 inch so much as I am looking for a modern wheels with roughly the look of the rally II without directly mimicking the rally. By "Pontiac rally look" I mean 5 brush finished spokes running from the rim of the wheel to the hub without ever touching the hub. Any ideas? The car is going to be 73 Trans Am in bright yellow with graphite as the accent color. Of these wheels here which do you like? Here are some Bonspeeds I've fooled around with colors and finishes:



      Here is a rally wheel for reference.

      NewGen 500 with added powdercoating in the "windows" would look very Rally II-esque. They may be pricier than the options you've listed though...

      check out Intro wheels and their Vista wheel. I had them on a GTO and they looked great. Have that old Rallye 2 and Hurst wheel look:

      Thanks for the suggestion, I like that shape. With a little bit of powder coating that would have the look. I'm having some trouble getting a price per wheel on those. Around $600 a piece, is that what you picked up yours for?

      Yep, about that much as I had 18's. I just went with the finish they do, which if you look at the spokes they are media blasted for a satin finish while the rest of the wheel is polished. I got alot of compliments on he wheels.

      Somebody really understands the OP. I'm liking the 2nd pic as the other two appear to be a bit too modern in their aesthetics. I'll have to research the budnik's and see what they run a wheel. Looking real hard at the bonspeed rodders right now but that all can change. Thanks!

      Some NewGen 500's I photoshopped a while back, but you get the idea.
