Josh .... now that's what I'm talkin' about !! Very, very nice, m'friend.
I'm not much of a clean freak, so wheels with "bolts" on them are out. But, I do love the first set of wheels ... expecially the spokes.
Excellent rendition.

This is Fabspeed's page ... What color are these wheels? I like simple spokes, too. Nothing "busy, or complicated". Perhaps something like this with a polished lip?
Plus, with the satin black Turbo logo and black chrome FS tips ... what do you think? I think there are better simple spoked wheels, tho.

Brushed is definitely the way to go...attached are some pictures of a set of NUTEK 509 wheels we just completed in a full brushed finish including the outer rims...this is a very clean look and when the wheels are on the car they really stand out because the brushed lips allow the finish to extend all the way to the tire giving the wheels a bigger look. We just shipped these last week and they are going to be fit on a black Turbo Cab...I will post pics once I get them from the customer.
Anyway, with the blue Brushed is a really clean look. If you have the thought of doing dark colored wheels like black or charcoal, or in the factory blue; Another option you could do that would not be too bling or goddy is if you have the centers finished in the factory blue and the outer rims brushed silver in either gloss or matte finish.

I'm getting the mod bug .... CG exhaust system, FS black chrome tips ... thinking of flashing the car, too.
But, I've always disliked the '09 Turbo wheels. And, they have not grown on me. The 2010s are better IMO.
Anyway ... my car is midnight blue with a blue cab top. I did a search looking for various wheel combos with this car color, but did not find much.
I'm open for some suggestions. HRE makes some nice designs. I'm not sure I want the standard polished or silver painted wheels. I'd prefer something different .... I've not seen a dark wheel with a polished lip on a dark car like mine. Anyone know of something like this?
Also, I'm open to suggestions. Yeah, I know we all have our favorite look, but I'm open to recommendations. Especially something more colorful or unusual.
Thanx.

The new BBS CH-R is available with Black Centers with Polished Stainless Steel Lip!
Plus, they're much more affordable than other offerings on the market and they're backed by the BBS name!
Here's an image I found showing closeups of the Black finish BBS CH-Rs:

Nice, Eddie .... I'd change the color a bit for a darker car, tho. Black would (IMO) get lost on a dark car. The stealthy look is fine for a black car, but a midnight blue is not. Perhaps painting the spokes body color and a brushed/polished rim would look good.

Another option that is possible that might detail the color of the car and match nice would be to paint or coat the background in the factory blue and then brush the spoke face, and then clear the entire part. What this allows is the finish to be sealed and the paint edges will be sharp and crisp, and the clear will protect the edges from ever lifting or flaking. This with a brushed lip would look very clean and specific to the car.
Attached is a sample of a 3 stage finish on the center, this wheel has a Neutral Grey background with a brushed spoke face and a full clear coat, with chrome outer rims. We just shipped this set for a Panamera.
