Pics of C55 with Forgestar CF5?

I'm thinking of a late Christmas gift to myself! Looking at Forgestar CF5 in 18", 8.5" and 9.5" front and rear. Silver or gunmetal on my silver C55. Saves me just under 10lbs a corner from my current setup of SL55 Rotara or Turbines. That's serious weight and I expect a real improvement in handling along with overall ride quality.

I like the multiple spoke look of the SL55 wheels but for whatever reason the multi spoke/mesh/weave of the Forgestar line doesn't do it for me. Anybody here put a set of 5 spokes on their ride? Any pictures? Google and other searches have proved fruitless.

Thanks in advance.

If I had the program I would. Last time I used it was in 2005. Actually did a lot more than a wheel fitment. Lambo doors, tin windows, colour change, drop suspension and back ground change. One car I managed to do a convertible top on using the tutorials.
You can mail me the photos of your car, front at an angle and the side which ever you want. I will try and use what I currently have to achieve the outcome but yeah, nothing like adobe photoshop.
