need help identifying these rims please...

i was originally thinking of going with some 20" trafficstar DTX's but i think it would be expensive cus it would probably have to be custom made and come straight from japan. so now im considering these rims but i dont know exactly what brand rims they are. i was surfing around looking for some VIP style rims and came across a brand called AME with a rim called Shallen LX. but there are very small differences between the 2 when i compared them... are these the same rims? but if not, what are they... thanks so much...

No, not AME...they look like they could be Oltega's, not this model inparticular, but you get the point.

i haven't seen either the ame shallen in person, nor the oltega, but the oltega seems to have much more of a dish face (concavity) to it. kinda sexy.

I'd say they are SSR Visconti LX-D.    They are no longer made after the restructuring with Tanabe.

I had the AME Shallen LX before.  Nice wheel. They are made by Enkei.

I had the AME Shallen LX before. Nice wheel but I didn't like how the spokes curve inward creating "fake" dish. They are made by Enkei.

Yep, that looks exactly like it.
