Considering this combo, but haven't seen it yet.

Make sure you view these wheels in person. In the pictures I liked them but in person not impressed.

Thanks for the pics. Looks good.

I've seen them on a TTS, but not a S5 yet.

I personally like the original S5 Double-spokes because I think they are more matched with the body lines of the S5, but the Tri-spokes do have a brighter look to them in person (even though they're painted just like the double-spokes) so it would make them a nice contrast with the Quartz Gray.

I have to think that the tri-spokes would be a pain to clean, given how narrow the gaps between the spokes are. Double-spokes are still OK for that, but these make me think I have to get out the dental floss!

Usually things look better in person than photo. But in this case the wheels look worse in person

For some reason I can only see a potato peeler when I see those wheels. And cleaning them looks to be a complete pain in the ***.
