wheel choices

went down and met the crew from DPE wheels. was really impressed by them who are all true car enthusiasts.

want some help with wheels choices for a silver C4S. going with standard offsets just to be conservative.

help choosing:

1. style
2 rivets or no rivets

here are the three that i like, will use the gunmetal color like the first one (but would prefer the 7 spokes)

please tell me what you think

an example of the 7 spoke in brushed without rivets

so the decision comes down to:

1. which style: 6 spoke, 7 spoke? or the black one on second pic (but all in gunmetal)
2. rivets or no rivets

i like the last one on the bimmer, with the seven spoke, i'd keep it clean with no rivets.... the rear should look pretty nice with some dish....

I like the 7th one, similar to HRE 841R style.

I'm anti-rivet, the six or seven spokes are about equal but I guess I'd go with six if it were me.

yes, these are cutome made so they will be fitted accordingly. they measured my car last week which was for widebody. but i think they already have the standard measurment on the narrow body.
