I like the look of the gun metallic on the DS but I think I might get bored of it really fast... So I think I'm gonna go with the Royal Steel Grey... I e-mailed jaydm.com about their availability but they are yet to respond.. ?

Now I wonder if I made the right decision with the 16s. That sure looks good.

I'll be honest, the Royal Gunmetal is a little darker than I thought it would be and actually looks almost black on some days, but it really hides the brake dust well. When you order them, be sure to get a set of metal hub centric rings to mount them and ask for an extra set of the little Rota hub caps so that you can customize them. I have an extra set but haven't done anything to them yet.

Lol, sorry for making you wonder about your rim size choice... Looks good either way... I'm just a sucker for big rims and polished lips lol... Thanks for letting me know about the metal hub rings and the spare center caps...

EDIT: Did JayDM.com include these items in the $590/set price or did you have to pay extra?

very nice!

i wanted flat black subzeros for my DS/W too when i was shopping for new wheels, but since i heard they are on backorder up in canada for about 4 months.. i went with royal black...

i do still think flat black would be best, but im growing to love those... this pic doesnt include the M7 upper/middle grilles nor the M7 ram air scoop, as this was taken last fall... CURSE THIS CURSED WEATHER WE HAVE!!
