My browser won't allow me to see those pictures but I went to your gallery and if you are showing the chrome 5 spokes, I have to say that I like them a lot, I tried to find 17" chrome wheels with a lip back on 05 and didn't find anything, I had bought ARE Chrome 5 spokes that were only 7" wide with no lip at all and eventually bought the Hamman 8" with a nice lip but they didn't have them in chrome.
If I was to buy today, I would get the same as what you have, I like that look, I'm one of those who still loves chrome wheels with a deep lip and have to admit, I hate all black wheels because we use black steelies here for our extremely long winters and I have to look at black wheels for months, so chrome means "Finally, summer is here!!!"
Where did you get those from, I would like to check them out.

Pic in his gallery is different from what he posted. Search Work Meister's on google for a pic of what they look like.

I also have a Smart car with Brabus wheels and have to say the red Smart on Work Meister's site with those wheels looks really sharp, I have a black one and again the Bright Buff would look good on that one too.

1st Gear
From 18" RS Limited to 17" Rota RB
I was running 18x7.5 RS Limited with 215/35-18. They were just too low profile for the city roads I drive and were bent to hell. The wheels were right at 20 lbs each.
When the tires wore out ended up with 17x7.5 45ET Rota RB (Gunmetal) with Continental DW 215/45-17. The ride is so much better and they handle great. The Rotas are 18 lbs each.
The car has H&R springs but I don't know the exact drop. I get some small rubbing over extreme bumps when the car has a couple people and some stuff in the hatch.

I choose the meisters because they look fantastic IMO, and have a lot of lip. Roughly 3 inches or so of lip for my rears. If you are having trouble seeing photos try this link: M/U
I got them from an Australian distributor JDM Concept but it was a 10 week wait, plus shipping to the USA would be a killer in terms of cost.
