yes! but milled spokes isnt new, and it wasnt that popular for JDM wheels. that is until Weds made the SA55M and SA60M with colored-in milled spokes. one year later at this year's tokyo auto salon, all of a sudden there are a lot of milled (and some colored) spokes around.

Advan RSII is a RS with milled spokes. the rays G12 and G25, gram lights 57 Xtreme SP, the enkei RSM9 and GTC01RR, etc... all of these wheels IMO are influenced by the weds wheels of last year.
