Damn those wheels are so sweet! Can't decide if I like the diamond polish or chrome better... now I just have to justify to my wife that I need to spend > $5k on tires and wheels on my brand new car

Genearch, I had thought your offsets were +25 on the front and +32 on the rear. So actually your offsets are +32 all around?

They ain't cheap, about the same price as a nice set of HRE's. Got two quotes, one from Peter @ Wheel Specialists and one from Auto Couture USA distributor in California. I'll fill you in if you P.M. me.

To Genearch or anyone else who has seen these wheels, are the central portions convex (i.e. curved out) or flat? It's hard to tell from the pictures available on the net.

I think I'll have to stick with chrome. Got my SC430 detailed today. Most of the swirl marks and microscratches are gone and the chrome is sparkling brilliantly... Car looked like a fine diamond out in the sweltering Arizona sun! The detailer used 3M polish and a wax I never heard of. I had warned him the dealer prep *****ed up the paint but he said it would be easy since it was new. Ha! Two hours later, exhausted, and drenched with sweat he admitted "it was a lot worse than I thought it would be."

I've ordered products from OneGrand and will have him use them next month -- he wasn't familiar with them but eager to try out their products. By the way he said it was the first SC430 he worked on and really liked the car.

The centers are ever so slightly convex

Here's my exact setup...
