Not a huge fan of hyper black. They go too bright/silver when they catch the light. I'm pretty much sold on the gunmetal DPT after looking at a few photos. Wei @ vision-r has a set of Rota SVN in bronze. Never considered the SVN at first, but I don't mind them now. Chop:

Gunmetal DPT for sure, but love the bronze on red cars. I've got the gunmetal DPT's in 18*9 +38 flavour if you want to test fit them, but probably a bit bigger than you were planning for?

Yeh too big, have to avoid rolling the guards. Cheers for the offer though!

These finally arrived from Japan today...they will be going to Vinci Chrome to be "de-chromed". If anyone wants to get alloy rims de-chromed they have to go through an acid solution (muriatic/nitric ?) to take away the chrome and not eat away the alloy... so they can't just be sand blasted. Then they will be powder coated Metallic Grey.

these are 18x8.5 with a 48 offset PCD 100, will be perfect for the RS, minus the china spec tyres they came with

Will look good. I like rims that have in-set hole where the wheel nuts get tucked away. Always looks good when rolling.
