I need to really start posting more of the colors in one place. Maybe this weekend I’ll dig through my photos a bit.
That would be awesome, because there are so many options it's tough to keep track of.

Not sure what gold color to go with on a rosso alfa... the matrix gold seems too light. Anyone have some more 18/19 setup pictures? TIA
Here's some info on the Bronze Satin:
 
For the actual diameter you’ll have to wait. I’m about to hit the pool and swim a couple of km. I’ll be back home in 90min or so.
Edit: Didn’t drown. 😁 Given the tape measure isn’t quite vertical the diameter of the 205/45x17 Michelin SS is approx. 23.8”. Tire rack quotes 24.3” for the same tyre. They are out by half an inch. I have no idea if their errors are consistent or this is a one-off. I’m heading to my garage to change wheels. The Sun is shining this afternoon. I’ll measure my Cup 2s when I’m done, but they have a couple of thousand km on them.

Those numbers are relative to wheel width and just as importantly, tire pressures. Tires grow a lot in OD with extra PSI!!

And some final weigths
oem teledials with oem Pirelli's and tpms sensor vs BSPK wheels with same Pirelli's and tpms sensors

teledial 18' 7j et 33

Image


BSPK 18' 7.5j et 34

Image



oem teledial 19' 8.5j et 49

Image


BSPK 19' 8.5j et 30

Most benefits for me are the rears because i mounted the teledials with extra Eibach 15mm spacers. The BSPK wheels have the correct offset.

Here are mine, took some photos today. Received them just over two weeks ago but couldn't check them out until today.

They are Stefania 18/19 Matrix Gold Gloss. I thought they would look lighter under the bright sun but contrary to my assumption they appear much darker which is stunning. Forgive my lack of photography skills but this is what I could offer :ROFLMAO:

Finally after 11 months I've got the wheels in. They are lighter in color than I was expecting, but I'm not mad about it... Supposed to be brushed bronze, but it's more of a gold. Oh well, stunning either way. I love how the brushed finish catches the light. Just need to order another set to give John more headaches :LOL:

A friend has already mistook them for some custom CINEL wheels. @John4C you should be proud of that ;)

I think they will look great on a black 4C. I kept going back and forth between brushed light gold and bronze, both of which will look great regardless. Finally settled for matrix gold as lighter shades will require more maintenance.
