saph wheels
I have allways liked the original sapph wheels. Has anyone got a clue höw much would it cost to have custom 17 inch with the original design? Would there be enough intrested people to have a group buy on them to bring the price down. Also, how many buyers would you need to have a cast mold for them? i have no clue of theese things maybe someone else has?

early ones or later ones? i reckon the shark tooth ones would look good, as long as they fit a decent pair of brakes behind them though.

Lattice would still be a pain to clean though!!
Rial alurad, do limited production wheels, but with making the moulds etc, for the amounts here it would still be prohibitive.

think diamond cut 17" lattice wheels would look good, the sharktooth alloys remind me a bit of the ok bk299 in that size?!

Group buy, £900 and in white, silver or black and I bet you have a bunch of buyers.
Although you would be smart to buy 5.
