Take a look at the set of CCW's on Evil-Twin's car. If I could afford them, a set like that would be on mine. I have the same set as you do and they are nice, but no where near the bling as the CCW's.

Lots of nice wheels out there...But take note .. there are a lot of nice looking wheels out there.. some are not as strong as others..
there are some light weight HRE knock offs out there using a spun cast manufacturing method.. these wheels are light weight and prone to bending.. They use a forged center section and call them forged but infact the outer rim is spun cast.
True forged wheels are about the best you can get..
some aftermarket oem style wheels are not as good as oem wheels. You need to do some homework before you make a whell investment..
Dont look at the price.. well look at the price but.. be careful..
After several months of research I found the CCW's were the best bang for the buck. Atleast for what I was looking for,
