I really like these wheels and I haven't committed to changing them. I was considering a powder coat of a dark gray but I wanted to try it out before I sent my wheels. So I called an AM dealer to buy 1 whee. As it turns out, these wheels are $6000 a set without tires. When I heard that, I backed off because I didn't want to risk their value. I will probably keep them if a buy a second set. You can get them form a dealer but they are definitely not cheap.

By the way, I'm thinking of this wheel from Rennen: Peter from Automotive Connoisseur Group has been very informative and patient with me.
There's still a good inch or so from the inner tire edge to the wheel liner in the rear on mine with the current wheels. I think a 325/30/19, which would narrow that gap by a centimeter, would be fine. As long as you have the right offset it should be okay.

I think so too. Do you remember someone else who actually put 325's on the rear? Are you going to 325's and if so, what tires are you going to buy?

Yes JeffRB had 20x11 wheels with 325/25/20 tires on his.

I'm probably going to go with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup N-specs...I need the extra stickiness.
