Rick, could anything like this be made for the SSR GT1 and if so, would you be interested in producing it. If not, could you point me in the right direction to get some made?

Producing what? Producing out of what? Are we talking about the yellow parts inside the spokes?

yes the yellow parts in the spokes. They could be colored matched to the car.

Well any thing is do able, but at what cost and how many would want something like this? That is the real question. By the looks of it, they had been machined from Billet and anodized.

The cost is doing just one set would be more then anyone would be willing to spend. If there are a CAD drawing with the specs needed to cut it, I could atleast give you an idea of what it would cost. They are small, but a small run still had the fixed cost of machine setup. It is this cost that has to be spreadout over move then one set to make them at a cost that someone would be willing to pay. I mean would you pay $1000 for a set? I know I would not, but that is about what it would cost to do a single set (I am guessing)

Your thoughts?

tenblade2001, any body/paint shop can paint those spokes for you. We have a member here {RatedS2k} that has those same rims with the spokes painted in Suzuka Blue, but I think he painted his. Well here is a picture:
