The wife has found some wheels she would love to put onto her PW/B MC, but so far, only in 17". She's not unhappy with the 16" RunFlats (150 mi. on them) and doesn't really want to move up any larger on the wheels.

Anyone know of something similar to these? OR, are these available in 16"? AND, would the RunFlats and these wheels work on an MC? How about you tire/wheel experts - like Alex and the rest. Let your expertise show.

All I can say is that she is usually ahead of the curve of fashion trends:
Stainless in the kitchen
White on a microwave
Pink and reds on the living room walls, etc

So, don't be surprised if Black isn't one of the next big things. LOL

preferred pattern, and

My only question is, why do you want to stay with runflats? They're heavy, expensive and don't handle as well as normal performance tires. Besides, you have an MC, which means you have a spare.

Not the exact same wheel, but here are some gunmetals with a polished lip in 16":
