I'm just messing around. I actually almost got a brand-new set for my box, $1300 with tires. The only problem was that the wheels had the gold/bronze color and that doesn't go well with my yellow paint.

I saw these gorgeous rims on a white cayman s today.
19" carrera sport rims. Looked perfect on super-low profile tyres.

those clear ones are for real? Could those actually stand to be used? What the hell are they made of? I am geniunely fascinated.

Yes they are real, that was at SEMA this year. They are made of some crazy polycarbonate and they can be driven on. The biggest problem I see there is two fold... 1- brake dust and 2 - brake cooling! With a wheel design like that you are screwed on both counts, and I see no possible solution unless they come up with cross drilled tires.

Although cross-drilling could work with twheels, it won't happen in all likelyhood.

I like simple, clean 5 spokes
and to a lesser degree the split 5 spokes making 10.
For off roaders, I love the Mickey Thompsons.
For funky designs, I like the Lamborghini Gallardo (already mentioned), gotta give props to the old school Countach deep dishes, and I've grown a fondness for the old Porsche "phone dial" rims (mostly because people have replaced them over the years and now they're kind of unique).
