Mr. Anaheim_Drew:
Nothing can break Mr. Anaheim_Drew's checkbook man!... what are you talking about!...lol 
That wheel above looks nice, although, I will wish you good luck in trying to keep it looking as clean as it does in the pic... you won't be able to clean the inside part of the wheel and you will have dust settling there from the breaks, thus it WILL NOT look at is does on the pic... if you are willing to live with that, then go for it! (the outside of the lip will be easy to clean, the inside, passed the nice design will be all dirty and you won't like it.

Way to kill my decision
As I think back, I had this style on my 1988 BMW M6 made by BBS. Brake dust was a problem.......

Wheel design reloaded
Dear Mr. Anaheim_Drew:
I'd like to think as thinking on all your alternatives BEFORE you spent the cash... my the wife's 330i which we had built with the M package from factory, the wheels that it came with are similar looking in the spoke design to the wheel you showed:
The wheels look very nice... though after a few days of driving they don't look as good with the dust... cleaning them takes a good half and hour for all 4 wheels, Mr. karugs's style that is... just for those that are unfamiliar with Mr. karugs's cleaning style; who's also known as "the cleanest engine bay on the west":
Just if that is not enough to convince you of Mr. karugs cleaning title:
Remember, that you don't want to end up like this when time comes to clean those wheels
Cheers
Wiedermann

First time was plain old scrubbing, not that good. Didn't wet it nor soak in water.
Second time was soaking it with water and Simple Green (diesels don't have much electrical gizmos that can go wrong). Rinsed with water. Good looking.
Third time was another soaking of Simple Green but focused on hard to reach places. Then rinsed with water.
