Thoughts on this wheel? (Enkei LSF)

Hello all. The stock tires on the wifey's TL are finally shot. She's currently on the snow tires until Spring. We need to find a new set of wheels by then because I'm not going to put a new set of 17" tires on the car just to turn around and have to buy a set of 18" tires when we finally decide on a new set of wheels. First off, she's VERY picky about wheels. She actually really likes the stock wheels and I'm trying to get her to look at something else just to set the car apart from all the other TL's on the road. I'm not going any bigger than 18" because CO roads are full of potholes and wheels bend pretty easily with a 40-series tire much less a 35-series tire. There are only a few wheels that she really likes for her car, one being the non-chrome 18" A-Spec wheels. I happened to be browsing wheels for her car and came across these. Suprisingly she really likes them. They're walking a thin line between showy and gaudy IMO. I went to did the whole "view on vehicle" thing on TireRack and they look suprisingly decent. I'm kind of a bad judge at this because personally I prefer more performance oriented wheels but I guess the TL is more luxury oriented so.... Just wanted to get some opinions from some of the other members here. BTW, this would be going on an 07 NBP base/navi.

The funny thing is I never even considered these wheels until I clicked the view on vehicle link on TireRack. They look way better on the car than they do in the product pictures by themselves. I'm not too worried about the issue of cleaning them. Another bonus to these wheels versus the A-Spec wheels to me is price. Working where I do I get wheels at cost so I can pick up these wheels brand new for a lot less money than it would cost to get my hands on even a used set of A-Specs.

Keep looking for the A-Spec's, I was looking for over a month before I found my set on Craigslist. I think they are a perfect balance of sporty and classy

Is there another set of wheels she likes besides those Enkei's or A-Spec's?
