Do it! I see a new 5-series a few times a week with those wheels and I love them!

As far as lips go, I dont' like them that much, Concave is the way to go! In the mean time I think I'm going to go with the Style 312's
If you are not set with going with DPE there are a couple of other companies that make that same design that I am sure are not the same cost as DPE.

I spoke to HRE and some other companies and they were all around the 1550-1700 price because of the specific design specs. The wheels need to hold up 8,000 lbs of land tank and thus the amount of machining and metals and work that is needed elevates the price vs say wheels for a GTR or 5 series.
