Well, considering appearance preferences are entirely subjective, your opinion isn't exactly "shared" by everyone. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.

And I think I still have the hubcentric rings for them somewhere if you're interested...

I've come back to look at these almost every day since they were posted. Such a cool wheel, I would love to own a set some day.

Quite true, however to elaborate on his theory, the reason a lot of these "rare" rims are rare, is quite simply because they weren't very good looking to the average buyer, and not very many people bought them.

Just to play Devil's advocate, ya know.

Another reason wheels tend to be rarer, is due to the limited production runs some of them had. Take, for instance, Carving Lover Souls (not the rarest example, but it works for this explanation). They only lasted so long, because the company was going under at the time that they were launched.

But, no matter how you look at it... I'm on the side of those who believe that attempting originality is more interesting than perfecting imitation. So, the more "edgy" designs are more to my favor.

I have seen a set for sale on a Japanese auction, but never purchased or seen a set in the States.
