Default ruf look wheels?

Does anyone know of a wheel from another manufacturer that look similar to these? A 'ruf knockoff' if you will...

Check with NR Automotive in CA. They had one a couple years back and I've heard they may have started production again.

Borbet used to make a type 'E' wheel that has a similar straight 5-spoke design. Spokes dont come to the rim face (theres a lip esp on wider sizes).

There are some old 80's era wheels that have tapered spokes that come to the lip iirc. Gottis?

The 996TT wheel is the only other one I can think of thats 'kinda close'. But the spokes are slanted.

None of those are close.

Go to Rennlist or 6speed-on-line and do a search. There are some floating around and you will find out who is making the replicas.
