Wheel help

They are called DPE S20's
Very much a stance look but I've fallen in love. I can't seem to find any overseas or in Australia.

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=530778

Does anyone know a similar design or where I could get these

Or you could go ahead and buy these Work VS-XX wheels which are even better

I went to inspect the works....they have oxidization all over them. Coincidentally I was going to the car wash after I saw them so I had all my products. Pulled out my metal polish and went at it for a minute. they cleaned up well but still had these weird veins of oxidization on them. I couldn't sit there and scrutinize over them...i really want works vs-xx's but for the price id rather just buy some reps for the same price which are brand new. like what D2000 suggested.

Hey Pete, appreciate you coming to check out the rims.. I'm thinking they're just rainwater marks which have been there for a while. In fact I'm quite certain the marks you speak of would clean right off with a bit of polishing, as you mentioned - you went over them quickly with the metal cleaner and that already took out the major ones.

For anyone else out there interested in a new set of rims in perfect 1er fitment I'm looking to move the VS-XXs on soon so shoot me a PM, pretty negotiable so don't be scared off by the price I originally stated in the for sale thread

If you allow me to come round to yours and sit there for a good 30mins and put my arm into it and see if it comes off properly I would be far more confident and actually buy them. I'm so sick of my stockies and need something aggressive Would you let me? Because I'm a sucker for the works! I just didn't want to scrutinise over them so much you know!

Happy for you to do that, I'm fine to meet up sometime this weekend and let you give it your best shot (unless the rims get sold prior to that of course!)

Oh that's right. I'm sure there must be a similar kind of detailer shop in Melbourne too though. I don't know of any though.
