Actually, Lou, that pic does not depict the true wheel. I will post them shortly. They have polished lip, brushed centers.

The pics are from a 2001 GT2, but, rims just became available and are offered in 3 finishes. Full polish, Antracite and whatever Sportec calls that semi polish finish.

I like em slightly better than the F110's because the sportec spokes look stronger (straighter and thicker to the rim).

I wish the sportec logo doesn't have to be on the spoke though.
It'd bother me if the logo'd spokes on one side of the car are not aligned.

Here's a link with pricing and better pics.

Heya Colin, you're right. The spokes are a good deal thicker indeed. Took another look

These wheels are firged, not cast, they´re one-piece, so they´re REALLY light.
