Help finding wheels....
Man I really like the style of a couple sets of bogart wheels.
The SS': 
and the Alumalite's 
The problem is I'm not dropping $1200-$1600 on a set of race wheels like that for a DD. So I'm trying to find something similar in a knockoff/center line. So far the only thing I've found as the 5 spoke much larger than those wheels and the small 5 spoke is what I like so much about them...
Anyone know of someone who makes a cheap version of a wheel that style?

I bet those are heavy SOBs. If you are buying for the look, that's fine. But if you actually want race wheels, I would keep looking. Maybe some Centerline Convo Pros?
Edit, yea - they are. Weights for 15x8s
AR23s = 20lbs
Convo Pro = 12lbs
Weld ProStar = 12lbs
Weld Draglite = 13lbs
Bogart Classic Star = 11lbs

Yeah and the price tells the story. The convo pros are $190 a wheel vs $90. I'm not super concerned with the weight considering I'm ditching steel wheels anyway and it is a DD.
