Holy crud! Those wheels DO look like a viable alternative.
Just remember that the RT wheels have more offset than the RS/GS models; so make sure that you get the correct ones for your application...

Talked with Wright Wheel this morning.

They will make pretty much any pattern/ style you want to fit the Spyder.

Front wheels aprox. 850.00 each Rear wheel 950.00 aprox.
Matching Pulley 500.00 But Damn they look good.

Why is it that Everything I really like, Is so Expensive!

I will try Enns Bros. and see what they got.

supply and demand. get more Spyders and prices go down

I found a company motosport tech, that you can buy hub adapters. $200.00 for a pair that will convert you over to a 5x4.5 bolt pattern. This way you can look in the automotive market for your rims. Measurements need to be done to get the offset right on the rims, so fenders work.

Don't know what all kinds of rims are available but was in a parking lot the other day parked next to a " smart car " . The rims on it looked identical to mine so that might be an option if they have different styles ? Spyder was even longer than the smart car by a couple of inches and my horn was louder too....LOL

LOL. I have seen referances to an adapter to use smart car wheels. They are also a three bolt pattern, which realy limits choices of rims. The 5 bolt pattern should give me alot of choices for rims.
