Default Anyone seen the Connoisseur No.51c?

So I'm still looking for a set of luxury-sport wheels... The Volk Progressive TE's didn't work out (If you saw that Ray's magazine ad, it turns out they had to use spacers to get the wheels to fit and didn't actually test them. It was just for the ad. They actually have a different face for the fronts... Thanks to Steve (SupraTRD) at Carson Toyota for trying anyhow.)

Anyhow I came across Yokohama's Connoisseur No.51. (http://www.yokohamatire.jp/yrc/japan.../brand/co_51c/), has anyone actually set eyes on this wheel? I like the sporty look, the sc430 at the bottom of that page looks sharp, but I'm not sure how'd they look (in 19") on a 3g GS 300. Wish it had a little bit of a lip on it.

Opinions/suggestions appreciated.

Those do look nice to me. I've always preferred a simplier wheel style and easy to clean.

Nice wheels. Very clean imo meaning they aren't too busy. I want to see them mounted to something though, and too bad I can't read that site haha
