I'm really digging it. I bought my C5z with the f14's and now I'd rather have a clean 5 spoke instead.

Those look amazing! I was looking hard at the cf5s before a practically new set of f14s popped up locally. Hardly see many with the cf5. do you know the weight of the wheel? having to clean 5 spokes instead of 14 with many crevasses is definitely enticing...

Looks like your ride sleeps on a light colored carpet each night. Use a pillow?

Looks really good. Love the look of a clean 5 spoke wheel.

So far I'm really liking the R888's

Those look fantastic!!!! You are right about the textured being darker than the gloss. Here is shot of gloss gun metal on pewter. It comes out like a bad color match.

Yeah that was my main reason for going with the textured finish, I wanted black graphite originally but after reading various issues related to that finish I ended up with textured gunmetal.
I'm satisfied
