| Some help, (Higher end Wheel of same design)
Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a wheel similar to; Sparco RTT524 Machined w/Anthracite Accent But i want it to be higher end, not gravity cast crap. I'd rather not spend more than 400/wheel, but i may go a bit more of they're perfect. Thanks!
EDIT: And in Silver. No black 
EDIT 2: Upped my budget.

You want higher end, but don't want to pay more than $250 a wheel? 
Maybe you can luck out on some used wheels?

I didn't realize a grand for a set was cheaping out... I figured it was right in the middle between crap, and ultra high end.. I'm not looking for Vossens, or BBS, Or adv. 1's for a winter wheel... I just want a good, high quality wheel that won't break the bank, and is in a 5 spoke design.

5zigen FNR01-c or Motegi Traklites?
Both good quality, affordable, five spoke wheels.

Vossen cv3 starts at around $460? 
Otherwise look at the enkei rp03? Pretty similar design to the wheel you posted.  | |

Ah, Vossens. They're awesome to look at, And the CV3's are probably my favorite... But The best price i can find them at locally from a Vossen dealer is 550. Which after tax is 2450. That's almost 800 more than the top end of my budget, And on the others, i really don't like how the bolt area is so rough, I like it when it's just simple holes. Once again though, Thanks for your suggestions! I honestly DO appreciate it.

Varrstoen's are pretty affordable and fit the TE37 style, they also don't come with ugly universal bolt holes iirc.. not sure how great the quality is though, maybe someone else can chime in

Yeah I don't think you're gonna find a QUALITY set of wheels for $1600 unless you get a good deal on a used set. And you can forget about getting forged wheels.
But here a couple that kinda look like what you want: (nope not cheap nor forged) Advan GT Advan TCIII

If HREs were that cheap, i would've had a couple sets already!
With that budget, it's hard to get something that is not cast. You are looking for forged wheels?
