Default Aftermarket look-a-likes of 2002+ NSX wheels?

I know that the Prodrive GC07 look very similar to the older NSX wheels, but has anyone seen any aftermarket wheels that similar to 2002+ NSX wheels?

Other than both being 7 spokes and wheels, the SSR GT7's do not look like the 2002+ NSX wheels.

Links please. I hope we're not talking some cheap China-made wheels that will shatter under any torsion. I need to be safe, man. I'm still young and got a lot to live for.

well, i have used some replica wheels sold by companies like alloy wheel repair. i mean, they hold up fine. http://www.finishlinewheels.com/ACURA/NSX/2002/ just an example. go to alloy wheel repair website and give them a call and ask for replica's. FWIW the replica wheels are currently on a 2006 SL500 and they take DD punishment. not sexist or racist, but the car is driven by a mid-age, asian woman. she is my aunt and i can't say she is a cautious driver.

considering the gt7s look almost identical to the prodrives (which he said look like nsx wheels) then yes they do. They look much more like the 95-00 nsx wheels

Apparently, both you and he cannot read because I specifically asked about wheels that look like the 2002+ NSX wheels. I also mentioned that I know of the wheels that look like the early NA2 wheels just to avoid this confusion.

Those ARE cheap. Hmmm...about half the price of a used OEM set. I'm gonna need to look into the weight, how it's made, etc. People complain about Rota's and how weak they are, I only assume these are even worse.

the rims i bought for my aunt, they had pretty thick spokes and they appeared to be made in a casting process, like the oem rims. but NSX rims, i believe were forged, so these would not me up to par as the NSX. but there would have the same tolerance as a AP2 V3 rim stock to replica.
