Thank you all. I originally was gonna go with T1Rs but they were out of stock so I got a good deal on the DWS and the reviews on them Were great.

Wheels are Niche Verona M151 20x9 +35 and 20x10 + 40.

Math says I also need 20mm spacers but am playing it conservative so gonna try the 15s first. Up on a Saturday at 630 so my shop guy can tweak it a bit more.

Car looks nice, but wow is it going to be fun trying to keep the inside of the white rims clean with brake dust. Yikes!

IDK about that. I like to think people who buy painted rims with a deep inner lip know exactly what they're getting into. Particularly white. So assuming that, I suspect he's going to be cleaning that inner rim on a regular basis. And he'll be keeping it nicely waxed, probably once a month. If he doesn't stay on top of it, however, it will be that much harder to get back to baseline.

They really are pretty wheels. I could see having those rims on my MW Sedan. Although maybe not so bone-white.

I agree Roch. I'll stay until of it. Just for fun I washed the car this morning and it was definitely surprised at how much nasty blew out of the wheels since I'd only driven them 60 miles but all the more reason to keep em clean. They won't catch me ridin dirty.

And yes I'm not happy with the drastic white difference so I'll be matching the wheels to the body soon. Wanted a matte white wrap but learned its $3k +

Yeah the rims look cool, but having to wash them every 60 miles does not sound too fun to me. I could not get away with that on my car.

When I was bedding in my race brake pads at night I got to watch sparks shoot out of the wheel wells. How do think the wheels would hold up to that?

With wheels like that it'd be worth getting them sealed to keep brake dust from sticking as much, will last way longer than a wax as well. Personally I wouldn't bother getting the wheels repainted, but if it bugs you then you gotta do what it takes to make you happy.

I'm at the shop again today and they also suggested getting them waxed. I like the idea of a seal more. What kind of place does that?

Looks real good man.
Atleast you can easily get your hands behind those spokes for claening

Ask your local detailer. Should be able to seal the rims!

Finally got my Vert Enkei 19x9 OEM's installed today on Pilot Sport AS/3's. Im pretty happy with the results, they sit super flush as is! Next should be a mild drop. It's a shame that the day I chose for installation, the AZ Valley got hit with nasty dust storms, so its all dirty.

^^^^Those look awesome, I told you that was a legit seller ^^^^
Glad it worked out and that black chrome finish made that an unbelievable deal. And yeah, a mild drop will really finish it off. Well done sir!

Random picture turned out pretty good today next to my friend's X5, can't wait for him to get wheels with fat rubber for it and drop it , then it'll be nice to take them both out for a photoshoot.

I think my new wheels have won me over. Now I'm 100% happy I got them and no longer unsure whether I like them or not.

Like the colored accents, small enough but noticeable
