Anyone have cast finish crager SS style rims?

Does anyone have cast finish 5 spoke Crager SS style rims on their car? I really want to put a set on but the damn things are expensive. The only place i found that makes them in 17" or 18" is http://www.etwheels.com/et/classic5.html just hold your pointer over the rim to see what im talking about. Some of those in 17x9&1/2 would be nice anyone know a company that makes them a bit cheaper? American Racing has their torque thrust D's but not in 17". I already have 2 sets of 16" rims so its time to step up

As far as I know the ETs are the only "cast look" 5-spoke out there in the larger sizes. It may cost more but you'll definitly stand out.
