the wheels are very nice and i'm sure they are well built but if i were to spend a chunk of change on some non oem wheels then i would want some type of dish/lippage

This is true, although I'm not a big fan of big lipped wheels in a chrome finish only because of some chrome issues (through experience) where the spoke meets the lip. I like the fact that they are forged aluminum and pretty light (30lbs) from what I'm told.

oh.... the chrome would pit in that very small gap between the face and lip edge, huh? yeah 30lbs is not bad for a big chrome wheel like that..

I'm leaning toward the clean 5 spoke wheel myself..... anyone else with an opinion? From what my buddy told me, the MSRP on the 19" is $850/wheel!!!
