AW on AW... someone had to do it!
While not for every taste..... I like the result!
Wheels: 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 VMR V715 Custom Painted Alpine White Tires: 225/35/ZR19 & 245/35/ZR19 Continental ExtremeContact DWS All Season Rub: Rear rubbed slightly when I hit a speed bump going about 45MPH......I consider myself lucky..... Regular bumps and pot holes have no issues.

Too bad you don't have the aluminum trim. I think the car would flow better with it instead of the shadowline trim.
Just noticed, are those white painted grill inserts as well? |

Nice - but good luck keeping those wheels clean. That may become your full-time job.
Try the Armor All wheel protectant - it works really well.

The white may or may not look okay - I can't get past that god-awful polished lip. I guess I just have really, really different tastes.
You thought about powder coating the lug bolts, too? Might look good.

I am using poor boys wheel sealant to keep the brake dust off. Seems to work well so far. It does take a while to apply however. I apply two coats though, since the wheels are white.

Nice wheels!!!! I just purchased the Alufelgen Sf-71 19x8 et 45, 255/30/19 19x9 et 48. I got the same front tire selection 225/35/19 DWS, however I am still debating which tire for the rear 265/30, 255/35 or 245/35. I am stock and don’t plan lowering it, I really don’t want to rub or fender roll. What do you thing?

As in easier to apply? I looked it up. It seems that it works well but leaves behind a residue?
Did poor boys not work for you??

Brake dust just falls off the Armorall treated wheels and you get at LEAST a couple of weeks out of it... If you over-apply it then you get a residue... Do several light applications rather then a single thick application and the only way you'll know it's there is by the lack of dust |

Yea, but it was close enough for me not to be able to ignore that 50k mile warranty on the DWS. Had to pull the trigger.
