Well, I tried. There are other sites I can't think of. But you could check some of the manufacturer sites and see if you like any thing.

If you want unusual, get the ugliest wheels you can find hehe. Most of the good looking wheels everyone has already. For example, Konig tantrums, racinghart c2 and c5 etc.

Not trying to be mean, but kind of like yours.
That is pretty ugly. They look like they are covered in brake dust.
Of course, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. However that is not a bad idea. I will take that into consideration.

haha ya those are stock rims painted gunmetal. Trust me, any good looking rim other people will have. Just get what you like. Why would you want something unusual?

Here are a couple - 5Zigen M-05


Or if you want to be different, powdercoat em red or blue or yellow:

One of my buddys works at discount tire and they get to go to rim shows every once in a while and the rims that keep spinning when your stopped were designed by Latrell Sprewell at Sprewell racing but they just announced at the last show that they are making adaptors for any rims (dont ask me how) that will make them keep spinning when there stopped. They said it will be about $2900 for the adaptors.
