I'm a big fan of the 'deep dish' design. The spokes are a little busy from a distance, but up close they look really good.

I don't care for the recess down the center of each spoke, but I do like the fact it has a deeper dish than normal. If you like them, then that's all that really matters.

I asked for a set of TSW "Edge" 17's for X-mas... they should be comming in the mail soon. But I dont get to open them until the 25th.

Got a really good deal though, $439 (i think) through cheapwheels.com... normally $800. The other part of my christmas is 4 215/45/17 YR Michelin Pilot's... I love not having to pay for everything.

They remind me of the OZ Racing Velas. Nice choice.

They look SWEET!
I feel for you tho' when you go to polish/wax them with those rivets around the inside of the rim.

Thanx guys!

I feel so much better now that I know they r attractive to other ppl as well. The mags alone cost me R 6000 for the set - which is roughly $600.

Thanx again for the comments!
