Hi all,
I've just stumbled upon this post lol.
I actually have these wheels in the same black/silver finish on my X, had them on since mid Feb.
The spokes are actually well proportioned and chunky, the only look thin from some angles because it is on the centre or rather the 'flat portion' of the spoke that is silver. Also, I say silver but that actually doesn't do the finish justice at at all! The silver areas are actually 'milled', I believe the term is 'diamond-cut'. The black areas are a very high-gloss black (piano black) colour and are really easy to keep clean too! And although they are the same offset and width front and back, they do actually still have a nice dish to them toward the centre, which also isn't clear in the pic in the first post.
The fronts really do sit VERY close to the arch edge (they actually stick out a little, but literally only mm's! But I'm thinking the rears could possibly bennefit from spacers to lift em out just a little bit.
As for the ride - I'm running 285 all round and I can't fault it the slightest. I'm really happy with 'em.
