What wheels are these?

What kind of Veilside wheels are these? So I know what I'm asking for whenever it comes to prices. I'd love to either get a set of these or Verde Helix wheels in 18s for the HC

Now it's just a matter of tracking down which wheel franchise does Veilside in Vic... whéther it's TTF or whoever...

Mmmm.... Verde Helix :

if you can get them, i will personally fly over and shake your hand, very hard to find:)

and if you get second set, i will fly again and possibly do something horrible, sorry but you dont put ugly new chromes on a luce/929. its an old car, keep it that way:)please

HAHAHAHA!
I wouldn't have them in chrome. I'd have a silver finish to complement the bottom half of the bodywork.
I just like a phat looking 18" wheel. I remember AJR Wheels came out with a pair of wheels called Directors. They were for the Frds, but I've seen them on beemas and they look nice. No chrome. Standard silver finish. I know THEY are rare as hens teeth and if I can find them, I'd shake my own hand!!

About the Veilsides...
breadbox - There is actually ONE full set of brand new Andrew Racing F wheels at VeilSide USA. They are 18x10 +21 if I remember correctly.
This was from the Inifiti forums. Nico.com. A member called BrianHarte posted that one up.

So.....
There is HOPE! :mrgreen: hehehehe

actually i think these wheels would sute the HC, they are very much similar to stock wheel design (multi spoke)

myself i am looking at Light weights, the car has torque issues as it is and is thursty (by todays standards)'

this is what i am looking at:

(or something similar, BBS lights maybe)

BTW here is a set of Veilside Andrew Racing F for sale:
