Thoughts on TSW Croft wheels?

Ran into these while browsing some rims for our cars, and they really caught my eye. I have a ggp 04 sedan, and was looking for something with some gunmetal and shine (not all chrome/polished but not all gray/black/gunmetal either), so these seem perfect. Also eerily similar to the 03ish stock m5 rims which I've always loved.

How do you guys feel they would look on our cars? Could any photoshop buffs give it a shot on a gray/silver sedan? I know tsw has a reputation for being "the soft wheel," but would like to give them a shot. I'll probably end up going with 18's, being the most cost-effective and practical solution, but figure the lack of a lip/extended spokes should help with the smaller wheel size.

Thoughts? Anyone considered these? Anyone seen them on a car (I think they're a relatively new model)?

I like them, just not in chrome, and they must be 20's.

no lips

look at mmr, axis, and others same mesh look but you get lips front & rear and not the flush look.

I like them. Everyone has wheels with a lip. Might be refreshing to see a car with flat fronts like those.

I agree with the Tenzo Type M. It looks better and is probably in the same price range.

you should get 19's b/c 18s on the sedan won't make much of a difference in appearance. you'll probably want a bigger size after you get the 18s and might regret it later.

TSW Snettertons are nicer because they have a nice lip

was thinking 18's to be more practical, but will probably end up going with 19's. The picture doesn't really reflect the gunmetal inner spokes/inside of the rims, which I think would look pretty good on the ggp. And I'd like to do flush face rims rather than rims with a lip/deep dish; I think those look better on the coupe, and like the idea of a bigger looking wheel.

The only pic i found on a car is this one; looks like 20's on 30 something series rubber which is pretty overkill on a 3 series

They look good, but def not in chrome. Also, 19" minimum

And everyone who is suggesting rims with lips.. #*^%$Q*%@*# he obviously wants a different style! My rims don't have lips either, and they look SICK
