I totally agree about not liking the red pinstriping on the matte grey wheels... especially for your orient blue 545.. Do they offer it without the red stripe? I thought maybe that was just an option/sample pic.
I'm gonna get tirerack on the phone to ask them. What do you think about the durability of the first wheel,with the lip, would it be a problem with potholes? Would the lip make the wheel look much smaller than the second wheel?

Hey Scorpio.. any luck finding out about the red pinstripe from Tire Rack? ... sorry, I don't know much about the durability of these wheels. I saw you asking about the Breyton CS in that other post, so hopefully someone can give you good feedback. Good luck!!

The red stripe is standard. I might get the wheel without the lip. The lip does make the wheel look smaller. Or I might even get the M5 166's what do u think?

I took the plunge yesterday and decided to order the Breyton Race GTS.......19" staggered setup wrapped in BridgestonesPole Position A/S. I finally went with the bright silver. I can't wait to get them on.
