anybody has Sportec wheel ?

Trying to get the 19" Cargraphic but they are not available. Saw the Sportec wheel looking pretty cool too. Anybody here using them? I heard they are lighter than Cargraphic.

I like multi spoke wheels like the spotec and HRE 543R/843. However, the sportec has no dish or lip. The dish really brings out the flares.

I like the look of the Sportec but have heard that they are heavy. Look at the new Kinesis wheel (F110) they look something like the sportec and they are light.

Read an article(2003 Nov Road & Track) on a Sportec GT2 that carries sportec wheels looking really cool. Go to Sportec website to check out their price but find out their wheels look slightly different than the one on the magazine. The website wheel does not have "dish" which is less desirable.need to find out why next monday.
