Opinion on this Wheel Please - CEC c859

So I'm told by the manufacturer that this wheel will fit over the Brembo brakes in a 19x8.5, 42 offset. Victoriatire.com has it on special for $150 each. I like the machine cut finish, I think it will go well with my Carbon Bronze Pearl Type-S.

So what do you think of this wheel? I know that it's different than what most people have. If you don't like it, I would like to hear why not. It's a little different but I like the price and I like the finish.

Below is a pic of the wheel on an Audi S4 but in 20". Couldn't find any pics on a TL.

That rim has 18 spokes!

Looks to clustered for my taste.
I do think it would look better on a TL than that Audi though.
I guess that would help a lot with the final decision.
Maybe someone here could photoshop it for you...?

$150 each thats dirt cheap. Personally, I still would not buy them even for $150 lol

I don't know they kinda look interesting... 19? maybe with some winter tires they can be the winter set of rims. Personally, I don't feel myself drawn to them. I'm more of the traditional five star kinda guy... or maybe some wheels with lip.

Thanks for all the feedback, I appreciate it. I'm not that excited about them either. Wish I could see them in person.
