Can someone identify this wheel?

Is there anything out there similar to those? I think what makes those wheels look sweet is the space in between the split spokes. One split runs almost parallel to the split of the next spoke. From what I've seen, most wheels of that style seem too busy because of the closeness of the spokes IMO.
 
Hmmm.. ASA has similar rims. Any mesh rim will give that look for the most part.

That the look you want?


[edit] Actually they're 18x7 Team Dynamic DTMs. Not sure if you can still get ehm.

The same wheel is available at www.buyfordracing.com for $236/set plus shipping, but I have no idea how much the shipping will add to the cost. Be aware that these wheels require a special splined lug nut. Aftermarket - around $40-$50 for all four corners. The Ford ones will run a whopping $105 or so.

DAMN hotdimmes! Those black ones with the polished lip are HOT HOT HOT!!! Where'd you find those?

Found them on ebay, 18" in our bolt pattern for about 1300 with tires. For some reason those ford tuner wheels still look off to me. I don't know if it's the angle but it feels like one of those wheels where the spokes arent well defined. Like instead of the split spokes being well defined, you can look at it and think that the splits of two different spokes are the actual spoke. Kind of like positive and negative space.
 
I believe it is because the parallel spokes on the Ford wheel are closer together, causing the "V" on the split spoke to be closer to the hub. On the ASA wheel, the parallel spokes are wider, making the split spoke appear to be a "Y" rather than a "V". I think this gives it a more complex, as well as delicate, appearance

agreed, not diggin the look of the ford wheels, the asa's are so hot though.
 
Guess what, the ebay seller is indeed buyfordracing.com.

Look the phone number listed on the ebay listing and the web site. Both to be 734-459-0130. The shipping quoted on the website for my location (MD) is 84.00. So the ebay listing is actually cheaper.
