i dont like the v spoke at the ends, their too wide, notice the VMR wheels v spokes around the wheel are smaller, giving a more GT look. Come on guys, keep em coming!

To me, the closest match would be the CL vendor with these SM3s.

meefer those wheels are pretty hot, but the V necks are too long.

Hi, I think if you really want IS-F wheels, just keep an eye out on here and eBay. They do show up from time to time, usually at a very good price. I looked around for a while, but it was worth it. They are really nice wheels! Good luck either way man!!

to be honest with you, i am now in love with the HRE p40 look or the VMR 710 look. That GT wheel design in a gunmetal color would look beautiful on a black 2IS

It sounds like you want hre's. Fork out the money and get what you want. When it comes down to the spoke length and spacing your so picky with, there really isn't any other option. Remember, your're looking for knockoffs of 5k wheels.

thanks RRocket but its not close. Just to let you guys know there is a brand called ICONZ that makes our wheel that we want but in a deep dish format for 3 thousand. The HRE rim i like is cheaper becuase it is one peice. I still wonder if there a brand that is close without the expense! i mean those VMR are only 250 a wheel =(
