i agree those r the best by far by my taste. but one small change, and again this is my taste, a polished lip and centre cap look the best on a black rim. think bout this, when u r going 60+ the thin black spokes dissapear and u r left with 2 rings that look like you are floating

Agreed. Actually the SP I'm looking at getting has black 16s with a polished lip, very cool.

Putyourshoeson: There are 2 versions of the CE28 that you have there, the widespoke (the replica that i found) and the one that you have in that photo is the multispoke one, If i had a choice id go with the the widspoke ones personally...

John.

funny thing about this is that when you go to their website gallery, you'll see an BG Astina. i thought it was quite amusing.
