Sounds like you need some asanti....

Any thoughts on getthing the backs on the ck 375s painted like a dark gunmetal or black so only the front edge is chrome?

I know they're 24's but is this closer to what your looking for?

Non stock based on what we have seen so far these would be my choice. Simple and straight. I HATE the curves and swirls of some of the OEM wheels.

For the type of styling Serge wants, a set of nice high end 3pc Concave wheels would be so badass. Nice and lightweight, clean, and you get exactly what you want. Not some Chinese casted crap.

Who makes custom 3 piece shoes?
And why 3 and not 2 piece?

I don't know the first thing about custom wheels.

Plus aren't these things stupid expensive?

I want to keep it in the oem 22'' price region.

Yes, custom 3 piece rims are generally quite a bit more $$$

It's your money, but I can't imagine ordering a custom wheel in a stock size (unless you just HAVE to have the design, of course). I'd think that if you're going to drop the coin for a 3-piece wheel, you might as well go to a 24". But, sure, tires and everything else become more expensive then.

3-piece wheels are light and strong, and barrels/faces can easily be swapped/repaired, since the different aspects of the wheels can be unbolted and a new/fixed piece be put back in. But, there's also the labor in building them (design-wise, and literally putting them together) and the materials that make them expensive.

Oh, and MOST of the stuff is being built in China, unfortunately. They might assemble them here, but most aren't being built here...

Love those rims. I think they would look just fine on the Nali.

DUB1 22" wheels go for $1400 a piece.
360Forged 22" wheels go for $1700 a piece.

Basically everything from the site where that pic is from starts at around $1500 a wheel for 22s.

That's ScSS money!
