Identify Wheel Please
Here's a picture of the new Renault Megane Trophy Concept (debuted last week in Paris) and I think it's amazing. Anyways, I love the wheels, and I'd be interested in finding a look-alike for my car. Any suggestions?
Compomotive MVS 1885...?
Looks kinda similar apart from the spokes get slightly thinner rather than fatter. It also has the little "step" behind the spokes and the circular sunken section in the middle. And Compomotive are a great manufacturer as a bonus.

So I did a little digging and I found this picture:
Note the "APP" inscribed on the side. After a quick Google search I found Aluminum Precision Products http://www.aluminumprecision.c....html who apparently "has a range of one-piece wheels in sizes 18", 19", 20", 21", and 22" for street applications and 18", 19", 20", and 22" flat face and motor sport applications."
And "Our customers include AEZ Leichtmetal, AVUS Racing, Mercedes AMG, Lamborghini, Pagani ZONDA, and automotive tuners; Carlsson, Sportec, RUF, Strosek with applications for Mercedes Benz, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Ferrari, VW, and motorcycle wheels for Brembo, RC Components, and Performance Machine."
I wonder if they're commercially available... the quest continues.

Thanks Chuck Norris! That wheel looks great.
APP replied and they informed me that they did indeed manufacture that wheel. They said that the wheel has been made specifically for Renault Motorsports, but rumor is that Renault will be kitting out the Trophy Concept so the wheel will soon be available to the public.
Well, I did a bit more digging, and apparently the Megane RS (and Trophy) has a bolt pattern of 5x108... so it looks like finding a copy is the only solution. That was a fun little adventure.
