Default Good looking wheel design but...
I don't like the two-tone finish and I absolutely hate the visible writing on the wheel.

With BBS for this car the offsets and wheel sizes don't work IMHO. I believe the way to go is HRE m40. I looked at the Volks and the same size and offset issues exist. I refuse to use spacers on a wheel purchase this costly.

Looks good, I think you can add a little bit of spacer to push it out more.

The M40 is a sexy wheel. So is the M43.

Default I completely agree that the M40 is *the* choice for an aftermarket wheel, but......
At $1400 each, I can't seem to justify the cost over the stock wheel. It just isn't that much better in terms of looks or weight savings. At that price I would actually take the 360Forged Spec 12. I would finish the spokes in Phantom black and the rim in the same silver as the trim on the car. At least you would have a substantial weight savings. Around 20-21lbs for 19x9.
