You could buy Drex' old one and have it rewrapped... or have yours custom rewrapped. He got it from CEC/Brabus with a llittle bit of help and influence - but I'm almost certainly sure it was the last 3-spoke in his particular color.

Mine is still in okay condition if you want it. I'll sell it to you for $400 and you can have it custom wrapped w/ carbon fiber or whatever you want. I'm sure there are a lot of people that can lead you in the right direction for getting it wrapped.

LOL...I have a cash cap set that would put all the mods close to $20K. Unless something extraordinary comes along that's worth spending more than that (other than little things here and there), once I hit that cap, that's it. From that point on, just maintenance (I don't count maintenance parts as "new mods"...LOL).
