I like black with the rivets, looks a lot like an Iforged Aero wheel!

IMO they look like too much effort to clean properly

I really like the wheels you have on it now! But if I were to change it up the 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 C5 wheels would look awesome.

Does OE do a DD C6 wheel? Maybe just get a 18x10.5 set of those to go with your fronts...

They actually make an 18x10.5 of his style except they aren't chrome, which figures. I didn't see any DD C6 wheels in that size either, which is weird again.

The rivets will corrode no matter how much care you put into them. Mine took a year but they did it. My car is a garage queen that got driven 3,000 miles last year. They look better IMO but not worth the hassle.
