Got mine from UPS on Friday. As my luck would have it for the second time now one of the packages of lug bolts busted open and chipped up one of the wheels. Hopefully the replacement will get here fast. These were supposed to go on Friday.

Are those 17's or 18's? Don't see them on Tire Rack in an 18 for the CPR S

Planning to pick up a set of these for summer wheels and use my R99's for winter only.

I love my R99's but the Breytons even better (especially in 18" form).

I'm torn, though, between matte grey and silver.

I have an '06 Dark Silver MCS.

Does the matte grey match well with the dark silver paint color? Or is it "close but not close enough" to look right?

Tire rack is having a sale on the silver ones right now, which makes them a bit more appealing.

I think the Matte Grey would look great with the dark silver

Can you tell me what the weight is of the 18's?
Also, does this wheel come in a fitment for the 2010 CPR S?

Hey thanks UPS driver who saw a label for 4 packages only delivers 3 and doesn't come back to deliver the 4 then tries to say it wasn't in truck. Thanks to UPS customer service who was straight with me and let me know driver just forgot to deliver.

So I took my car in yesterday to have the tires balanced to get rid of this ongoing vibration that I've had. Today while I was cleaning all the tire shine off the wheels that they put on I noticed that instead of popping the center caps off from the back they took a screwdriver and pryed them out from the front. REALLY!? Who the hell does that? The reason I know they did this is because they dug into the paint and chipped it off on all 4 wheels. Now I have 4 new wheels with paint chipped off around each of the center caps. How should I handle this? They are definetly getting a phone call in the morning but what should I expect as an acceptable solution to what they did to my nearly brand new $1000 wheels?

WOW! Are you KIDDING ME? I would BE LIVID. I am not sure what I would do in your case! I would probably ask for new wheels. You don't want them refinished when they are brand new.

I have my local tire shop install by hand (no air gun) and they remove centre caps from behind (like you should).

The price of powder coating including the removal and installation of the tires!

Looking for an early Christmas present for my wife. Researching wheels and these Breytons look really good.

What color would look good on R53 PS/PS MCS?

I'm leaning towards matte grey.
