Like Charles Barkley would say on TNT: "Are you kidding me?" LOL!

I'll take these any day over the stock 17" OEM's. However, black 17" OEM's is a different story, but for half the cost with tires, man its a steal.

Well to be honest with you, I am going back and forth. Plus I prefer all black-flat over gunmetal. I initially wanted gunmetal, but I am looking to go towards a murdered-out look. Also for the 19" S5's + wheels I am looking at over $1500. I am trying to keep my costs down.

I know what you mean. I am back and forth. However, its okay. As long as you made the right decision, that's what counts.

TireRack blows out a lot of excess inventory at very aggressive prices just to make room for stock. They sometimes have good prices for SSR, OZ, etc, not just low end wheels.

Problem is there are very few applications available when they do go on sale. Chances are, they will not have a full set for your car.
