Konig Crowns 17" w/ 225/45/17 Kuhmo AST's (wanted to go with something better but they are all season and the guy @ Discount Tire threw in a free protection plan and 30k warranty for free). I couldn't beat the price, Discount Tire did $775 out the door with everything.

I ended up going with the wheels I was going to buy the very first time around back in June. I'm happy. Was going to go with Gunmetal MSR 013's but more and more I found pictures of those wheels the more I disliked the design. I'm actually really happy with these, now my chrome trim doesn't look bad at all and I like it believe it or not. Which is a good thing...I really didn't want to plastidip the crap (I just find it cheesy and cheap).
$530 shipped from Tirerack, with next day OnTrac shipping - and $100 bucks to install old tires and sensors over from Discount Tire.
Enkei RSF5 "Machined Silver" - 17"
Kumho Ecsta AST 225/45

Interesting that they dropped the price on the machined, nice score. Now we have the full selection of colors on the forum! (Deep breath.... still the only hyper silver, it seems.) lol.

I'm stoked. The Machined Silver is my favorite, the brightest of the three. Black is just too dark, doesn't "pop" and you can't see the wheel design with the black too well...almost gets hidden into the wheel well, once you add tires into the mix. That's my opinion though, thus I didn't go with black.
I like Hyper Silver, but I like the Machined better since they are brighter, which is what I was going for. the fact that they are the cheapest was also AWESOME

Just take care of them, I'm not sure if Enkei is subject to it, but I see many machined finish wheels looking rough and pitted after a while. I personally don't like the machined aspect, and wanted something a little darker anyway. I don't think hyper silver would work well on red.
I just had snows mounted on my 15's, but I don't ever want to take the Enkeis off. Waiting for the first snowfall...

Yeah, but any wheel can get rough and pitted after the years. Very easy to fix if it does happen, but I've never had a problem. My 99' Audi had machined silver wheels and never had any signs of wear, besides a bit of curb rash - and I've used them for years in all kinds of Michigan and Canadian weather
. Plus the benefit to sliver or hyper finish is that if we do get curb rash, hardly noticeable vs black or colored wheels I hear ya man, the Enkei's are so sexy. I live in Bellingham WA and also travel up into the BC, Canada mountains throughout the winter. I don't plan to take them off. I have all season tires on them and I've rocked the same setup on my Audi for years with no issue. I never use steelies, I love showing the things off year round. Although it should be interesting to have my all season tires on a FWD car, they were never a problem before because my Audi was AWD.
I also wash my car weekly or bi-weekly. So that's probably why I never had much of an issue with salt ruining wheels or car. Keep the clear coat clean, and in all honestly we don't get much snow in the actual city here in Vancouver/Bellingham, just rain.

We get snow by the foot here, instead of inches. These Hankook tires I am running barely grip in rain. I wanted the skinny tires again for snow...
