Wheel Experts Needed : 26" Suggestions

[Blazed]

In person it's just a flat wall of spokes it doesn't flower out or it it looks kinda cheap even tho the price tag says different!

The Santo is out of production (discontinued) so Ebay is your best bet on those. The Verona is a 2013 line from WTW and is not yet in production. Typically, it takes until around July/August for them to import them from China.
The Concavos are real nice, but they are just as pricey as your last set.

Also, a tire is only stretched when the wheel (flange included) is wider than the tire. A 10.5 rim (plus about 1" for flange) comes out to be 11.5". Put in mm, that's 288. It will look perfectly fine on a 305 series tire. 295 would be pushing it.
When ish starts looking dumb is when you have a 12" rim on a 295 tire.

about time you chimed in!!! lol so give me some other suggestions for similar style wheels, if any??? It seems the Santos may be out of the question, I had a feeling they probably looked more flat in person

I am trying to think of a few but can't.
These days, it's the 3 piece wheel companies that are the only people who seem to care about making pretty, but simple wheels. Outside WTW, most other companies that makes wheels into the 24" and 26" sizes just make ugly designs. Lorenzo and KMC used to makes nicer wheels that are large, but it seems like they gave up for some reason.
For 3 piece wheels, companies like Forgiato, MHT, and Asanti are the main "exposed" brands. Asanti and Lexani have been making some rather eccentric looking wheels lately so they are not much of an option.
Less exposed brand like Modular Society, COR Forged, Strasse Forged, Vellano, Savini, and D2Forged have been bringing their A-game so you may want to check their designs out. Thing is, most of those will cost just as much, or a bit less than your Forgiatos.
You could wait and let WTW bring in their wheels from Koko Kuture, Giovanna, and Gianelle. Then a more economical decision can be made.

Yeah you probably did see the Satorinis. They have been around since 2007 if I remember right, and I have seen them a few times.
The Santorini II came in 2010, while the Santos came in 2011 or 2012. The Santorini II was just a 28" hidden lug variation of the original Santorini. It's on the brown bagged 2 door Tahoe Ekstenive Metal Works built.
The Santos is the third gen with a more concave style build with the spokes pulled to the edge of the wheel.
They were so popular that they keep coming back in different forms like a cold sore.
I wonder if the Sabina/Caracas will make a come back. Very nice design, and it was one of WTWs most common wheels.
