Personal view on the Lord of the the Rings sounding rims *I joke 
* they are nice but a tad over priced. If you take a look at my post about the GTD it is equipped with the Vancouver's and I have to say they look very classy. I have seen a few Bilbao's around the dealership but I didn't take any pictures. All the Highlines that I've seen on the streets have the Vancouver's, aside from a few here and there. IIRC the GTD's wheels come as Bilbao's as an optioned upgrade to 18" wheels, standard's are Vancouver.

Edit: Sorry, my mistake I thought that Bilbao's were the upgraded rim choice, in fact they are the Seattle set. Sorry for the semi-threat hijack :/

I would trade my Detroit wheels for those any day :drool:
Reviving a dead thread here with info on the Bilbao wheel and a replica. The Bilbao's are now available in the US - the part number is: 1K0601025BE16Z. They are expensive and only available in 18".
There is a replica wheel called the Ermes from WSP Italy that is available in 16" and 17":

But you have to get them from the UK:

But importing the replicas is cheaper than buying the Bilbao's.
