Think the silver tyres in gray look fab. Black would be a bit odd.

Wow! Thanks everyone for the post. Your opinions and the links are great!
Now, I have most likely 12 hours to make up my mind. ��

Default Now that we're talking wheels
What is the general consensus on those Rotor wheels that have finally showed up late to the party?

I think with the grey and the darker windows, the Rotor wheels would look good

Default I like the Big Wheel open look to them
But something seems so Tire Rack 1992 about them. I haven't seen them in person. They look good in photos, but that boot-like motion twist just bothers me. Maybe I'm looking at them wrong. It's a kinda like/kinda not sure curiosity in them that makes me ask. My Stratus Grey Black Pack has been ordered with the dark Gyrodynes, but I'm not in love with them.

Silver with lunar grey looks good, but it's hard to go wrong with any combo on this car

Decided to go with the 19 Orbit Black and Diamond Turned. I really like the way the 20s look, but I've admired the Orbit B&D on schraderade's Stratus Gray and the pic bluebird posted to this thread sealed the deal. :-)
The 19s will be a smoother ride so all in all I'm satisfied with my decision.

Thanks everyone for your post! I appreciate your help.

Yay .. partner in crime with Orbit Goodness knows what the repair bill will be for curbing them ... but probably less than the carbon fibre blades ... plus our tyres are significantly cheaper

I thought it was you that posted the pic, I edited my post to reflect that.
I'm a very careful driver since I'm **** about my vehicles, so hopefully there will be no repairs.

Nah, don't go for the orbits. They're hideous
