Default Compomotive wheels.... Martin maybe?

Thinking about purchasing a set of Mo's in a couple of months, however the ones I want are these;



The only ones I can seem to find on the compomotive site are these;



Differences being slightly fatter spokes, no compomotive logo stamped into one of the wheels, and slightly different spoke design.

Are the first type still available or have they been replaced by the second wheel? I'll be wanting 8x18 in a focus offset, about et42

Thanks in advance

Rich

i've got the second ones on my car and you will find that martin does probably the best deals on them (turn around time was less than a week from placing the order to them turning up on the doorstep having been made to my fitment and offset) and that the stamp isn't a sticker but an actual raised bit of casting ont he rim itself

they do take a bit of getting used to, but once you get used to them you can't picture anythign else ebing on the car
