I've had the matte black R105s on my R53 for 1.5 years -- they look great on a CR/B MCS.

I would advise you to NOT get the runflat tires with them... I got them that way (thought the runflats would be good peace of mind), but wore down close to my wearbars on the fronts in about 4k miles... a few others who had them also wore through the Dunlops very quickly. Anyway, swapped in some Kumhos (<$100 per tire vs. >$300 for the runflats), and the ride also improved.

Yep, I have those rims with the runflats...work great for me...don't really care what they weigh 'cause they sure corner like mad! As for tire wear, 5000 miles and they hardly look worn.
