Ya, can't wait! I've been looking to add some aftermarket wheels for nearly a year now and I finally boiled it down to a couple different wheels. I really wanted something simple, clean and modern looking. I also wanted a wheel that you don't see everyday. Then I happened to check NM's site as I knew they made the 7 spoke 18" RSe08's and was hoping they might have something new in 17". Low and behold the RSE05. I talked with one of the Tech's at NM and asked him to keep me posted. He got back to me before they were up on the website. Great customer service from those guys. I can't say enough good things about them.
I'll be mounting them on a new set of Michelin Pilot super sports.

NM seems to be run really well, I've been really impressed with all their products.-Steven

I have a set of black ones being shipped from NM this afternoon. UPS notification says delivery date is Friday. Already have my MINI center caps and the TPM sensors will be here Friday. They will be shod with BFGoodrich g-Force Comp2 215/45-17 tires at the local Discount Tire store. Once they are mounted, Jerry at NM is expecting pics.

Mounted today. Sorry for the picture quality but I didn't get a chance to take any till late.
Love the wheels. Compared to the OEM challenge spokes they're light as a feather. I do miss the gloss black of the challenge spokes at least on my particular car. Since it's so blacked out as is I think it adds a bit of contrast but that's minor and I could fix that if I wanted. The NM wheels aren't truly "flat" black but more of an eggshell finish if that makes sense.

Pics on the way....uh, Way 
Thanks for the compliments guys. Bluetoy, Fitment is great. No rubbing at all on the lowered Coupe. I'll take some pics for you tomorrow for sure. The offset is pretty aggressive and VERY close to the OEM challenge wheels. 45 for the NM wheels and I believe 48 for the challenge spokes. With these tires the fit is nearly flush with MAYBE a .25" gap from sidewall to fender edge. They look great on the car and this wheel/tire combo fills up the wheel well just right in my opinion. It looks even better in person.
Take care!

Okay guys, Tackleberry has new rollers.
NM Engineering RSe05 17x7.5 wheels w/ BFG g-Force Comp2 215/45-17 rubber.
I really like these new tires. The KUMHO ECSTA AST 215/35-18 tires were really good handling tires, but a little on the stiff side because of the sidewal height. These new BFGs with the 45 sidewall are more comfortable. I cannot wait to see how they handle on the twisties.
