I've had the Rials for a few days, love them. The brushed silver Rial caps look great with the finish of the wheels (personal opinion).

After much trial and error, just uploaded a couple of photos into Gallery (file name New Shoes) showing the 15X6 Rials on our white/silver Passion. How obsessive can I get? Just replaced the gray plastic caps on the TPS valve stems with the bright silver ones used on late model Porsches! (NOT the fancy accessory caps with the colored Porsche crest!)

You might consider going to the matched front and rear 175/55 or 195/50 tires. You've probably seen the other threads on this.

The nice thing about the Rials is they hold up, by that I mean they don't loose their finish and they look like a factory wheel. Rial is also one of the largest suppliers of OE wheels and the price is right also (at least from Tire Rack). Mine have survived a year in the pothole laden Chicagoland with no negative effects.
