Might do a search for threads where a forum member put these on their car - I know there have been a few posts on these and from what I can tell everyone has been happy with the results.

I should know I sell them

They are IForged classics 19x9.5 / 20x12.5 in high polished and they are a 3 piece wheel. They are not offered without the rivets showing except in the TE series. Pm me for pricing on all IForged and Lewis Five products.

Those L5 flares are sweet. They used to be the only choice..... but...... Now TPE makes flares for the C5. I like the look of the TPE flares a little better. They just look a little more subtle to me. TPE is setting up a group buy on their flares as we speak (type)....

You now have a choice of fender flare to choose from..

I have seen the L5 flares a few times and they always look awesome. I haven't seen the other ones in person but I still like the L5 flares better. The other ones look like they tried to be subtle but couldn't.

I like them both, so it's going to come down to time and cost.

If you like that wheel and want it with out the rivets, then you might want to check out the CCW 505a

More shots of TPE T2's. For the most part all of these after market body parts will have some fitting issues, a great shop can address any of these issues. Autobuffs addresed my fit, paint and installations....they do superior work!! TPE is a stand up company, I'm very pleased with their custom service
