Lightweight 18 options in 5x110

I pretty much hate 98% of the wheels out there that are in 5x110, so finding a different set of wheels I actually like has been kind of difficult. I am wanting a lighter weight wheel, along the lines of the OZ Superleggera and Enkei PF01s. I don't want a black wheel, so that throws out the Superleggeras and leaves the PF01s in silver only, and the PF01s look too plain in silver IMO. OZ Alleggrita HLTs, meh, don't really care for the spoke design. If the PF01s came in gunmetal I'd be sold, but I am not going to buy brand new wheels only to have them powdercoated in a different color either.

I haven't really been in the wheel loop much, since I just recently decided I want diffferent wheels. So what all is out there, in a lightweight, competition style wheel that is in the same price and quality range as the PF01 and OZ wheels?

Good wheels no doubt at all, but I don't really care for those either. Not a fan of multi spoke. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Gah, 5x110 sucks. Never thought it'd be this hard finding a nice gunmetal wheel that I like

I like the PF01s, just wished they came in gunmetal. I saw the pics of the black PF01s on your car, and it just seems like too much black with the tire and no contrast IMO.

Don't think I haven't been considering CCWs I wasn;t really wanting to spend that much, but if it comes down to it I just might

Find whatever wheels you want and then get adapters for the bolt pattern if you're having this much trouble finding something you like.

Yeah I saw that, nice wheels but I couldn't do full polished. They'd be high maintenance to keep looking good. I need to update my location, lol. Used to be Texas, now Tennessee

If 9 others want PF01s in 18x8 5x110 gunmetal, Enkei will make them on a minumum order of 40 wheels. Not like its going to happen anways

Silver PF01 sort of look like the sotck wheels I have seen on G35 sedan, and black is just too much black. Off to searching more. I am just going to look at some of the forged brands and find something that no one else is running

Forgestar. They are custom. Pick your model, size, width, color, bolt pattern and offset. They are around $1400 for a set of 18"x9"'s.
