BBS Fi / Klassen M52R look alikes?

I'm on the verge of buying a new set of wheels for daily and light track use. I will get a dedicated 18in track set later, so right now I will go with 19in for looks.

I think the BBS Fi is the best looking wheel in the world, along with the KlasseN M52R. Problem is, I can't find something that looks like it for a reasonable price. I'm not looking for reps/knockoffs, but rather wheels in a similar style - somewhat curved spokes in the same pattern.

The closest I can find is the Renn Motorsport RS51 which is priced great and looks similar, but it's not quite as aggressive since it doesn't have milled channels or detailing on the spokes.



I am starting to think that some of the looks from the FI and M52R are due to the manufacturing process and strength - in other words, that the reps simply can't have milled channels or be as aggressive because they aren't strong enough.

Anyone have a lead on anything? I do like the RS51's and they are very light for a 19 so I might just go with them.
