John
Pics will come.  I hope to have new wheels ASAP, regardless of the outcome with Centerline. The Centerlines are coming off for sure. 
BTW, here are the wheels I would be lookng at from the REV line up.
First (looks identical to the Rage Breaker but in a hypersilver)
Second (As John suggested, and a nice polished wheel lip like my previous Konig Reign's)

FYI, if you want your rims to appear bigger, get the wheel in the first pic. My Rota's look just like the wheel in the second pic, and the recessed spokes with the lip give the wheel the appearance of a smaller wheel.

I will probably will go with the first wheel, REV Model XI or Rage Breaker, due to needed spoke clearance, and as you mentioned, the wheel will appear larger since the spokes go out to the edges of the rim.

Um.  I can't see the difference in those two pics. I say the second one, just because I want to believe it is more of a polished look  .

I was told by DTD that they are 19 lbs, in the 16x7 inch. Nothing special in the weight department. I'd hate to ask what a bigger one would be.

How much did your Konig Reign's weigh? I really like those wheels

Well, I decided to purchase the REV Model 10 wheels, 17x7, 40mm offset, 4x108mm, and in gun metal gray (only colour in stock at the moment). The claimed weight is 16.3 lbs each. That's reasonable, especially for the price $500.00 for all 4 plus shipping to Canada.
I would have preferred the Hypersilver, but that's a no go for 2 to 3 months. I can't wait that long, as I wanted to have the wheels by the end of the week, or early next week.
I'll take some pictures once they are installed, and post on our web site.
