I put in WORK
Well, it seems like everyone's getting wheels lately--here are mine. They just came in today, after waiting 6 months for them. Yes, six months. 
They're WORK VS-XX in matte gunmetal. Front: 19x8.5 +40, Rear: 19x10.0 +51.
I've a set of Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's going on them tomorrow--245/35 front and 275/30 rear.
Enjoy.
With the VS-XX centercaps:
With the AMG centercaps off of eBay. I think it looks much better.
Rear lip is about 2.5 inches.
There was literally hair-thin space left between the rear calipers and the wheels. I was almost afraid it wasn't going to fit.
Front lip is a bit over 1.5 inches: whoopey.
However, there was a good quarter-inch clearance between the front calipers and the wheel. I think it would've been possible to be a bit more aggressive, but not too much.
And here are they are mounted on the car just to ensure they fit:
These last two pics are for superlubricity:

Last one for the road:

You crazy FOOL! Those are going to look wicked!!! But wow, the clearance is tight on the calipers. Make sure whoever puts the wheels on doesn't fumble around or they'll chip the paint on the calipers.

Thanks, guys!
I like how they look on your car.
Haha. I'm insane in the membrane! Yea, the rear caliper clearance is worrying me a bit. 
I can't wait to see your DTM bumper, though!
Thank you, fellas. They were ~$3600. The matte gunmetal color costs extra.
Ya, I figured you'd ask anyway. Haha. They're a bit on the heavy side for 19's, but hey--they're 3-piece wheels, and I've had a fetish for mesh wheels since the BBS LM's came out.
I'll use my stockers for track days.

Thank you, sirs! I can't wait to see them on the car, either.
Haha. There are quite a bit of bolts/rivets on these wheels.
