Love it man! I kinda regret not getting black sometimes. During my order I was flip-flopping on which finish to get. Oh well silver is really nice too.

Oggle: Thanks, I am wondering about going to silver. Tough call but I think I really like the black on my black car.

Is anyone trying to run 255 285's?

I think 285's in the rear are possible. I currently have 275's, but when I wear these out, I'm gonna go for 285's.

Standard silver. I was planning to go with this for a year. If I get bored later I'll redo it to black.

The standard silver looks great actually. The brushed does look better, but to me, only when you're really up close to it.

OK, now I'm a total wimp. My wife is overiding me on the black spokes! Ughhh! I really don't want to die on this hill as she knows not to say a word about my Lambo or all the stuff I am doing to my tt so ... I am going to go with silver like everyone else. The brushed alu looks nice Dr. Chill and awiner, but it's $7-800 more. I think I am going to do it anyway. It's just not worth the fight.

The ride on 20's is very much a lil more "road involved" if you know what I mean. You get used to it very quickly but you are always paranoid about those dayam pot holes. ( Dayam la streets) But anyways I only noticed how "stiff" the ride was until I put the stockies back on for a short period. Also my car is not lowered, just yet. Will be soon.

Have you thought about another color wheel? I have charcoal 545Rs on a non-MB and love the finish. The lips are polished with clear.

Yes, they're 19x12s. On the C5s, you can run a 19x12 with a 345/30 19 tire if you tub the rear.
