Work Euroline DH
I'd either find them already in matte black or buy them and get them painted to matte black. This is how they come from Work.
Matte Black
Tarmacs
I don't have a great picture of matte Tarmacs, but I can special order them from Fifteen52

I'm not looking for stretch or poke on the wheels and coilover setup, I just want it to look OEM+. I was messing around in Forza when I found the Work wheels and put them on an ST in game and almost started drooling. We shall see if I can actually find them!
This is my 2012 SE on Tarmac's with H&R Coilovers to give you an idea. I have the H&R's set at the highest setting in the rear and factory setting for the front (8 coils up) with all season Falken 722 - 235/40/R18
Wheel is textured gunmetal (looks and feels like high grit sandpaper)
Looks like this will be a nice build. But i'm not sure what i think of those Work wheels. They look "DUB" to me, I guess i'd have to see them shopped on there [dunno]
I'm ordering the intake tube as bare metal because I'm going to have it powder coated white after I get it.
I've also decided to not go with the WORK wheels and to go with the Tarmacs. But now I'm stuck deciding between getting them in white or matte black. Any opinions?
Haven't updated for a while so I thought I'd post up.
I've had a massive change of plans with what's become available in the aftermarket. I saw an ST with Tarmacs on it and I decided they weren't for me, so I'm changing my wheel choices and have it narrowed down to two:
The first are MiRo Type 111 (rebranded RaderWerks) but only come in VW/Euro sizes. I'd most likely get the 5x112 pattern and 18x8.5. However, the offset of the wheels is 45mm compared to the 55mm of the stock wheels and they're .5" wider. Also, I'd have to pick up a set of adapters from H&R. I have no idea what they'd end up looking like and I know they would stick out from the car further due to the adapters.
The second are Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3. The price difference between the two is going to be the deciding factor.
Other than that, the only thing that I have installed so far is the Cobb AccessPort tune.
I'll update my first post with the change in plans.
So after mulling over the adapter idea and talking to Chalon from PCA, I think it's safe to say that both of those wheel options are out of the picture []
The MiRo wheels will stick out too far from my fender after the adapters and the Team Dynamics are 10-12 weeks out.
I have reached out to Rotiform to see if we can work out a set of their Cast MIA wheels.
Back to the drawing board... Just got off the phone with rotiform and they're phasing that wheel out for a new design called IND which I'm not a big fan of.
Not tryin to poke a dead horse or in this case dead thread but....
With the 19's did you get 35 series tires because you wanted low pro tires or is that all you could fit?
were you able to run 40 series tires? You have had the wheels for a few years now, how did they hold up hitting potholes and bumps?
I want 19's for my 2015 ST but dont want to run 35 series tires. I had 35 series tires on my '09 Focus and bent all 4 wheels over a 2 year time span in Northern California. The roads here are crap, I hit a 3 foot wide pothole in the middle of the freeway going like 80mph.
