They didn't have the Gunmetal R5:F's in stock when I ordered the wheels so I decided to try out the Shadow Chrome. I'll have to get better pictures with a good camera one of these days but just thought I would contribute for now.

I went with the 19x8.5 +30 with 235/35 front and 19x9.5 +35 with 265/30 rear. The car still needs to be lowered, it's at stock height.

Look good. When you get the chance, post a close up pic of your new wheels. I considered the Shadow Chrome but decided on the silver. The chrome finish will be easier to keep clean as the non chrome wheels are slightly textured and tough to clean with just soap and water,

It's kind of hard to take a good picture of the wheels but here's a close up of them in the garage and then one comparing them to the chrome wheels that came off my Grand Cherokee.

Let me be the first to push the aggressive envelope with Five Axis wheel sizes/offsets...I have had people comment and say they didn't know the S5:F was concave, and after reading this thread and seeing other sizes and offsets, I guess I did get a little crazy...

Front - 19x9.5 +22
Rear - 19x10.5 +22

Now for some pics...

Check the classifieds. I think there is a cheap set for sale, but it has a cracked rear wheel. The hairline cracks usually are repairable, but I had mine crack multiple times on the same wheel. I think it may have been due to manufacturing differences, as certain wheels are more brittle than others, even in the same set.
