Need help finding similar rims

[edit] updated 2nd page with more pics

So I really like the Advan F7 wheels, but they are about $1000 per corner, wayyy out of budget.

Image

I did find something similar, the primax 786, but i dont like how they are convex near the tips of the spoke, and the spokes taper

Image

i photoshopped both of these rims onto my car, and i like the look. do you guys know of any other similar 7-spoke wheels? thanks!

The Advans look 100,000,000 times better than the 786s.
Personally, I don't like the style of either though.
The Advans are alright....just my 2 cents.
Trust me, I'm a technician.

I had the Konig Tantrums that had a similar look. I got them for $150 for all four but they were heavy as hell. I see this style all the time around my area so you can probably easily find something used with that same design for cheap. Personally I think there are other syled Advans that look better. Anywho, here's a pic of my old rims:

Shouldn't be too much, way cheaper than the Advans that's for sure. According to their site, they are available exclusively through Discount Tire. after that, it's just about ordering the right size/offset to get them looking mean like the 2 cars above.

i'd definitely go with the advans over the 786s.

but the battles over the advans since i love the concave look.

p.s. that accord is sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I actually like the 2nd set of rims you posted, the first set remind me of Konig Tantrums that everyone and their brother had.

^True, but 2KRacing sucks huge pole. I live 5 minutes away, and have laughed the few times I've been to their "shop" inquiring about things out of curiosity.

i found the MB battles on discounttire. 164 per corner and free shipping, not too bad! im trying to get more pictures, the ones that you posted look REALLLLY concave (but they may be larger than 18", although discounttire only sells up to 18"). i def would not push them out as far either, but i may go with the 30 offset and roll the fenders.

Oh well i don't know about buying from them, i really posted the link just because it shows many different rims and prices. but yeah if its already been decided that the MB Battles are the rims to be purchased then it sounds like he already found a better vendor with free shipping.
