Sorry for the mediocre (and not so many) iPhone pics. Hope I can produce some better ones once I get her cleaned up and the ride height dialed in.
Curious to know what the collective thinks, but I happen to LOVE them!

Looks great. A bit aggressive for me, but I'm not too far inward from that. Jealous!!!
So glad they fit and no rub. I do think that 6mm offset makes a huge difference.

Appreciate it! To think, I was trying to go even more aggressive than this.....
Happy I listened the shop and their expertise; of course this forum was a huge help with where to start.
Really wanting to see how yours come out. I stayed awake at night trying to pull the trigger on 5/6 spoke wheels, but wasn't brave enough. Hoping for a quick turn around for yours.

They won't cover the shipping. They will only ship same as before/original order. So 3-4 weeks to make, 3-4 weeks to ship......
This is the only picture I have with them on the vehicle...
(Night trim tail lights are now on and I have black tips also)
The trim strip on the outer tail lights and across the middle is black. I actually haven't received the center piece yet. So I haven't really photographed. I bought a set of 21-23 tail lights and swapped that strip.

Well hot damn! I had no idea this was a thing. Although I'm sure I'd have to sell one of my kids to foot the bill for those lights. 🤔
$225 each plus the center strip was $180 so around $630 all in
Wow! I just looked up the seller on ebay and holy crap, maybe i got a deal...the price is now $546 plus $100 shippingLOL....i paid $237, not $225, i forgot i didnt click the 5% off thing on feebay...long story...anyway $650 for both tail lights and the center strip.
The 20x11 et56 didn't fit in the rear with 315 or the stock 295s. Rubbed on one area of the inner well. Mfr remade the rears as it was there suggestion after offset after several mentioned concerns. Anyway, remade the rears in a 10.5 with offset that matched the outer face position of the 11's. so they sit flush still and have ~12mm clearance inside
BUT..... Now the powdercoat didn't match. Yes, I warned them that would happen but they chose NOT to make all 4 wheels and hope for a match. They didn't. They refunded me $700, cost to repowder them.
Great. Picked them up today and the color is WAY too light. They look like clay - like grey clay. almost no metallic, very light, grey clay, seriously - i dont want to be lumped in with all the people who are doing Nardo grey cars or whatever. I was going for match of the OEM metallic grey. Yes, I selected and approved the color swatch but you know how that goes. It looks fine on paper but never matches in real life. I did specifically say I don't want a silver or light gray color. But, I'll just have to redo them.
I opted to install without ceramic or re coating because well, just because. I'm not sure how I feel about them but i just want to drive already, geez! anyway, Not what I was going for ..... And now after mount/install, the new sensors don't work so it has to go back to have the old sensors pulled from the stockers. Ugh. Worst wheel and tire sob story I've ever had
But here it is ... 20x10et17 265/35 and 20x10.5et50 295/30

Man, sorry for the continued hurdles.
But on a positive note, these wheels (and their "colors") really work with the RED! I think once the re-powder is done, you'll be happier than a pig in 💩
Separately, have you given any thought on your roof rails, and whether or not to color match to the rest of your trim? I'm seriously contemplating picking up a Luna One Trim kit from dipyourcar.com and painting mine myself. 🤨
yeah, roof rails and door handle inserts for sure. the roof rails are pretty pricey for the night trim version, around $2k - not to mention dropping the headliner to install, ive been contemplating a wrap. A guy at a show had his wrapped and it wasnt terrible, but definitely sub par for my liking - they are a tough shape and start to peel or get damaged etc.. the door inserts are super easy from my research, they just unscrew/pop off by pulling out the handle and taking them off, as far as i can tell.
i was thinking id leave the chrome at the waist line, grille star, handles, and rear badges, but now with the three different "silvers" - rails, handles/chrome stuff, and grey wheels, i really dont like the look overall, too many variations in the silvers.
im gonna drive it around for a bit and think on it. maybe ill get inspired - i already started looking at different wheels so i know FOR SURE they will have to at least change color - i wanted something more subtle, less WRC

Picked up a set of used roof rails $150 shipped from feebay - surprisingly. I'm going to investigate what can be done to them off the car. I'm thinking gloss black powder coat is the easiest considering factors like cost, finished look, longevity, etc. Send like anodize or PVD on an 8ft item would be cost prohibitive.
Aside from the need to drop the headliner to have these installed....
Seriously though, look into that Luna One kit I mentioned. From all reports, it looks as easy as: sand - clean - spray and you're done. Totally DIY.
Annnnnnd, you can report back to me just how easy it was so I can follow suit. 😉

I looked at the kit briefly. I am skeptical about coatings (like paint or the Luna product), even PPF although PPF is pretty durable. Mostly because I have done the plasti-dip thing in a former life and it sucked, AND I plan to attach cross bars, so I want some level of durability - painted on coating doesnt seem like it willwork for my needs. I did just remember how nice some cerakote stuff I had done was and as soon as the parts arrive I'm gonna head over to my plater and see what he says (he does the cerakote too)....I also priced new night trim rails....probably won't go that route...$1000+
Also, I looked into what is required to R/R the rails and it doesn't seem that bad - apparently can be done by just removing the OH **** handles and reaching in, BUT, I also have the loose sun shade rattle starting so i figure its a godo opportunity to correct that as well. point is, i dont *think*n dropping the entire headliner is required.

Okay yeah, if you're going to mount cross bars those would likely cause damage/impressions on a coated surface. I fully understand the need to have the extra "roof storage". Used to live in Europe, and the wagon was our only vehicle for a time, so it ended up being the family hauler for every vacation, to include a roof box and cross bars.
Really curious to see how things go with your roof rails. If removing them isn't as difficult as thought, then I might follow in your footsteps.
I second that motion...AMAZING picture!!!
It looks like a professional shot to my eyes. MB could use that pic in a promotional brochure and feel proud about it.
