What do you think of DPE wheels?

Hi all, I am finally ready to put some wheels on the car. I know the guy from DPE and he is going to give me a killer deal on a set. Just wanted to get some opinions on them. I want 19's and FAT lip on the rears. Still trying to decide on either black or just brushed silver. Sorry, I tried to upload the pics but I am having problems doing it. Here is the website though:

www.dpengineering.cc

Styles I am interested in:
1. R07 variant S
2. R08 variant S
3. R16

You have to click on "Wheels" and then use the two tiny gray arrows at the right to scroll through the wheels.

Can't say that I care for any of the options - the little bolt-heads all over the inside surface just don't do it for me - but it's your money and your car. Since you are presumably buying wheels to better express your individuality, you don't really need our opinions to tell you how to best express it. Just get whatever you like, really.

DPE's are sick, they're new wheels that are gaining popularity, these days everyone uses iForged and HRE, its good to see companies like these come up, and personally I too would pick DPE over the two, i like their designs, i say go for it, but only if you're pushing them on 20's

Share the love and get us a hookup on pricing.

I'm wheel shopping right now for some 19s for my soon to be daily driver ('04 S4)

Thanks!

Ok, maybe I like the new GT7s on the home page better. Did I mention I DO NOT want chrome like in the pictures on the website?

Ooohhh, Ryda, I like those in black quite a bit! It maybe swaying my decision as far as color. Black vs high polish....

Ggirl, I'm fond of black or gunmetal rims with a polished lip. I'm pretty sure your car will look great whichever finish you get. Here's 2 black W211s to help you with your decision.

High polished



black

I personally like the RO8 VS. I don't think black face wheels will look good at all, especially on a black car. It gives it a "spare wheel" look where you don't see the wheel like it's missing, unless you like that look... plus every other Honda and Scion with wheels are doing black face setup. Myself I like brushed aluminum face with high polish lip better (in fact, I am ordering a set of iforged in that setup), although high polished face also look good on a thin spoke wheel.
