They're very similar to the one's BMW offer - which I'd seriously consider (the BMW one's, that is).
They're a special order 20" Composite wheel complete with 30 profile tyres....but at 4k for the set they're a bit hefty on price I think!
Maybe one day, but I'm delighted with the car as it is at the moment.
(I actually think the ACS kit is one of the worst I've seen too and they've really messed it up in my opinion - thats what is on the car at the start of the thread).

IMO 20" wheels just look too big. 19's or even 18's look much better. More in proportion with the rest of the car.
If you going to go that big why not go the whole hog and get some chrome spinners....LOL
