I had the S wheels for 8-9 months. I kinda liked them for a long time, but I gradually grew tired of them. Perhaps they were a "997 novelty item" which is why I kinda liked them for a while. I put Champion RG5 monolites on a couple months ago, and I love them.

The only other 19" I like are the Sport Design. Downside is that these will be a nightmare to clean

Have to go with the classics ... they have a depth to them without looking bulky like the standard S wheels.

To my eye, the "S" whels look like something that would be better suit a lunar launch vehicle than a mere high performance, earth bound automobile. I ordered the Classics on my car, which by the way, was allegedly built today !!!
