I also got these on Awesome. Love 'em.

You need to be aware that the AMR are NOT the same wheel. They have the same 'face' as the M-1007-DC1895s, but they are called 'replicas', and here's why.

Look very closely at the 'pockets' between the spokes. The Real Deal wheels are angled in towards the holes. The AMRs are not. That makes them more 'spindly' than the Real ones.

So while you're getting the black paint instead of the charcoal, you're also getting an entirely different shape for the pockets, so the black won't stand out near as much.

It's a personal preference, of course, and there's nothing saying you can't get the M-1007-DC1895 wheel and have the pockets painted whatever color you'd like.

I personally didn't like the thinner look of the AMRs, and got the set of the Real ones, and I'm very happy with them.

Hope that helps in some way!

Ok, here's my pics:

I won't put it in here, they're freakin' HUGE.

Edit: Oh, wait.. Different AMR wheels? Not the GT500 Replicas? My bad. But still valid. Heh.

I have them over a year now and they are ok. I use them for my winter tires. Cheapest OE rim for Brembos. Very nice quality, however, i think they are a little bit small...
Ok, my summers are 19" F and 20" R, so maybe that's my issue with the size
