Post number 1, aye?.. welcome aboard. 
Kudos on your choice of wheels. They look great. The small silver outer ring breaks up the massive amount of black. I'm not a huge fan of all black rims, since (to me) they always seem to end up looking dirty due to the way they blend with the tires. Just my .02 cents, which means nothing..

imho gunmetal is a bit better than pure black. and for brake dust gunmetal is definitely the best color ever as it blends in almost perfectly.

OP, the ch-r's look good !
u r right about the gunmetal being great for hiding brake dusts.. i gotta remind myself to wipe the spokes cause they always look clean.

Thanks for the compliments! It sounds like I went through a lot of thoughts as you guys. I too was originally looking at gunmetal, but really dug the look of the CH-Rs. Now that I bought them, BBS will come out with gunmetal. LOL.
No Gray911, it is not lowered. Stock C2S with 19'' wheels.

Just a small question on the ET of BBS CH-R rims.
My sportdesign 19 rims have the following specs:
Front: 8.5J x 19 ET 57
Rear: 11J x 19 ET 67
For completess my car has these two optionals:
P17 Sports suspension (- 20 mm) incl. rear axle-differential lock
XRP Wheel spacers, 5mm
The BBS CH-R I found have the following specs:
Front: 8,5J x 19 ET51
Rear: 11J x 19 ET56
So finally I'd have a delta of 6mm in the front and 11mm in the back (not considering the 5mm of my spacers).Now, really, I am getting confused.Since the ET of the new rims it's lower I should have no issue at all with the caliper, and considering that before I had a 5mm spacer, if I get rid of it I should not modify at all the original car set up.
Am I completely wrong?
