A very precise style of wheel...

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a wheel wich:
• must look like I want (see below)
• should be as light as possible
• should be cheap as a bonus
• street and pot hole proof

The look:
very simple but hard to find, 12 very thin spokes, all just straight and all on a flat disk, symetrical, rim as thin as possible, the hub also for making the spokes as long as possible. If the disc is a little inside it'll be nice.

E.g:

Not bad, but there is a second rim or style round... disc is not flat but almost. Enkei NT03


Very tempting, any reviews of this? TR Motorsport MT1.

Thanks,
Matthieu

light as possible can't be in the same sentence as cheap or pothole proof.

look on ebay for ADR, Drag, etc... wheels. They're definitely cheap. If there's a pothole big enough to damage the wheel, then they're cheap enough to buy replacements. Weight? Eh.. that you'll have to sacrifice.

I have the enkei NT03s on my FD RX7. The flat disk depends on size and offsets.

Thanks for answers guys, but I should have said:
Within the style I want: I'll choose a light but strong one (street use wich means OEM strenght and not -this is what I meant- butter as SSR wheels), within these ones: the cheapest ones.

There is another problem I've forgotten: availability in France... OZ is, Enkei should. A bit late here to check right now, long term project...
For the flat disk I have in my mind a flat disk that just moves in or out the wheel with hub but stays flat, may you show your setup?

I have to check 17" setups for the FC but 18" prices are below.

I can get you the 18x8.5 and 9.5 NT03+M for about:

$1650.00 USD shipped via USPS Priority Mail.

Not sure if that's in your price range. If it is then let me know. Certain offsets might not be in stock.

Thanks, Rishie
