These are the ones I am leaning toward, grey with machine edge. Now just have to find some without breaking the bank...

I like those, but in ALL comp. grey, with no machined spoke faces.

Now, of course, everyone and their great grand aunt will come on here saying that would look like *** on your cyber grey metallic car.

Some FM5's in Race Satin would look killer on this car....

10 spokes look great...

To make sypder/cup wheels look good you need a 18/19 combo.

if you are still interested in a black wheel, maybe a wheel that has a black center and chrome/polished lip. that would help with the "black hole" effect of all black wheels.

Those would look fantastic on your car. I think you should go for it in an 18/19 combo. They won't hook quite as good as a smaller set but with the right tires 19s can hook pretty decent.

I looked and looked and looked for a replica version with gunmetal or silver ports/machined face like the OEM versions, but they dont exist. All the aftermarkets with machined spokes have black ports, and it doesnt look anywhere near as good as the grey or silver ports. I thought about running 4 front OEM's, but just can't envision liking 19" wheels on my car.

I put some silver port/machined face wheels on your car.
