shape is boring... they look like any other wheel out there.

the color is cool though, if that's like a titanium.

Are those PIAA's?
I saw some anthracite 17" PIAA's on a PW/B Cooper at an auto show that looked sharp. The style is conservative looking in photos, but in the flesh they are very well finished, with the spokes standing in contrast to the lip.

I love them! Those look like the PIAA FR-S rims to me. I've seen them in person on a MINI and they looked GREAT! Though I don't really like any color unless its black or black.

You opened up a can of worms here, my friend.

Wheels are such a subjective topic. Everyone has very strong opinions about wheels, and most of them will differ from your opinions. The bottom line is, if you like them, put them on, end of story. Why do you care what other NAMers think? Pick the wheels YOU like, and keep You-ifying your car the way that you want to.

That being said, I support you. I love 5-spoke rims, and these have a great color to them. Do you know the weight?
