Black chrome would look good on a silver RL. Not too blingy. However, I am biased--see my sig.

Black chrome/hyper black on a light colored car. Polished for a dark car.

Those photos make it hard to see, but the inner ring is black on one and not on the other... nice in "black chrome". I can't figure out what the deal is (ie the coloration) on the "lightning silver" listed at the site, nor can I figure the prices. Are those 3-piece?

I believe the Work Varianzas are two piece cast wheels. I have no idea how much they cost, probably in the $500 range or more each. No idea how much they weigh, what kind of lug nuts they use, if a centering ring is required, etc.

I am sure Blazing will give us the gory details once he selects!

ok I have good news and bad news

Good News: I will be purchasing these wheels

Bad News: I will be purchasing after the winter season. I saw the price for about 650 a wheel . and its a in my belief to drive around with rims these expensive during the winter

A no-no in the winter also because you won't find any all season tires to fit those 19"s

Well technically, there are a few, but not many choices in 245/40-19

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
Goodyear Eagle GT
Goodyear Eagle RSA

If you wanted to cheat, you could go to 255/40-19 and you could add the Yoko Advan S4
Pireli P6
Avon M550 AS

Or put dedicated winter tires on the stock wheels, Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 and summer performance for the summer on the 19" wheels. Then you have the best performance all the time. I wouldn't ride around on $650 wheels in the winter either.

A reason I went with 20's instead of my usual 19's are the lack of options and also price. 19's do not get the same level of love as the other sizes.
