Focus color now
I have been thinking complete charcoal powder coat like the interior of the wheel.
OR
Complete black like the Sharkwerks car.
And yes C90 all the way. Alex tells me they are 8 lbs. lighter in the rear and 4 pounds up front. Plus ultra-strong.
With PS2 for the rain here in Hawaii.
Just need help with the color here....focus the color, GT silver.
All black is soo trendy right now though.

FIKSE's new one piece is pretty nice...
More info and pics on the one piece wheel here:

Also they have a few different finishes available here:

No affiliation except they are in my back yard and I have a set of Profils

I really think _any_ wheel for the RS shoudl not only be light but have a "stepped" lip like any motorsports wheel. You want strength and with a 19 the sidewall isn't exactly what I'd call "thick"

C90 and C93 are my favorite HRE's. PS2 will be helpful in Oahu. Kailua town is beautiful. My friend owns a beach house out there.
I'd go for satin black finish with a GT silver pinstripe to break up the black of the wheel, tire, and asphalt.
