Most people call those Euro 5 spokes. Make sure to note that they only fit 4 bolt pattern (late model stuff).
A good friend of mine has a set on his dad's 65 vert.
For $80, you can't go wrong. The tires are worth more than that alone.

| You might need to drill your rotors and drums for 4 on 100mm bolt circle. And use spacers to get the correct off set on them. I am not a fan of the water cooled rims but I do like the 17inch BBS rims kind of like a honey comb rim. They have a german look to them. |
