Do these really exist?

I heard a rumour a few years back about these wheels and always thought it to be an urban myth! Crazy

I wasn't sure if this picture was photo shopped or if in fact these were 16" or even 17" Cyclones?! Dry

They exist! They are called 'Lions', I believe there is a set for sale on here by dragoon. They look nice, but are meant to be heavy and aren't the strongest wheel out there.

They are 17" cyclones (called "Lions"), they are very heavy, very rare and IMO very overpriced Yes

Ok guys, thanks for the heads up. What car are they off originally?

They do look very nice but if they have as many downfalls as you suggest, I guess its not worth it, eh?!

yeah your looking at about 1K'ish for a set
no longer made and getting rarer all the time, why someone has not attempted to make more I don't know
Lions are made from quite a soft alloy too so don't really suit our ohh so perfect roads these days so my set just go on for show
i'm thinking maybe a set of 16" Ultraleggras maybe
