I am looking for your opinion on wheels...

As some of you might know, I recently bought out the majority of a race car that someone was parting out. Part of the deal included a set a of 1 piece magnesium racing wheels. At 1st I thought wheels are wheels and did not really car that much for them, but after doing some research I reallized these are worth about $4000USD The reason they are so expensive is because they are 1 piece magensium rims and weigh 16lbs for a massive 17x11 wheel! I was originally trying to sell them for $1000CAN but I changed my mind and will keep them... the thing is I want to get a set of simmilar looking 16" wheels that I can use with MT's net ET Street Radial. The closest looking 16" rim I could find is the ZR1 replica...

Do you think they look simmilar to the 17 x 9 Speedline's I have in front? Does anyone have any other ideas?

The average noncar guy might not be able to easily distinguish them, but to me, the only similiarity is that they have 5 spokes.
