Thoughts on these "S-type like" wheels?

https://www.wheelership.com/new-17-x...xoCBEkQAvD_BwE

They look pretty nice, and I'm a fan of the charcoal finish. Anyone go for s-type like wheels on a base? I know Enkei makes some similar looking ones that might be a bit nicer and not so trying-to-look-s-type

They look fine and honestly no one will know they aren't OEM other than a darker than usual paint color

Did not expect any positive comments LOL. I agree they look pretty cool, now I’m torn between these and a similarly styled black wheel. I’ll probably try to refinish the stock wheels darker gray first

I believe these are heavier than the real type s wheels, fyi.

Pulled the trigger last week

I bought a set of these last week and they just arrived. Finish is good, packaging was great.

Here's the weight of one wheel (plus the cloth cover)

reviving this thread

can you share photos of your wheels if possible and if you've still got the car/wheels. I'd like to see how much they differ vs the OEM ones color and weight wise. Thanks!

I had the wheels for two years before selling the car and didn't have any issues. At the time they were a great deal and added an inch of width with no gain in weight over OEM. Shown here lowered in RSR Springs + Konis. The center caps I bought off Etsy, listed as for "TL Type S Wheels". The colors were noticeably different up close but I honestly hadn't thought of it since I installed them. Is one or the other, or either, the correct color? No idea, I wasn't bothered. They did survive some good hits of potholes. Definitely would have bought them again in my situation.
