I am glad you found a rim you like, so don't take my comment as derogatory, please. But....the first thing I use to judge any rim is how much dirt and brake dust it will hold, and how easy it is to clean. That's one reason I like simple 5 spoke wheels.

I remember the days of the Smokey and the Bandit honeycomb Trans Am wheels, then later the BMW wheels with all the fine criss-cross layout. You'd see a brand new BMW 740il and the wheels always looked filthy - because they were. And I assume Burt had Sally Field in there with a toothbrush cleaning his wheels every few days.

Amen, please do yourself a favor and get some Akebono ProACT pads along with a product called "Wheel Wax" in the black can...your wheels and your sanity will appreciate it, I promise you!

Great looking wheels. I've seen them on an S550 and they look even better in person.

I agree. Nothing against those who have Vossen, I even had the 82s which were 22s. They are a great rim, but there is much better out there and it's good to have variety.
