To tide me over I had them send me some pics and I decided to share. They are Niche M135s. I liked the style of the wheel but I wanted them to be different and I think this color will look great on my red car.
Now the only thing I cant decide on doing is the Niche in the center cap. The way the center cap is made is an aluminum piece over the plastic center. The word Niche is cut out of the aluminum and there is a mirror behind that. There are two choices I am thinking about. Leave the mirror behind it, which I think will look good with the grey wheels or replace the mirror with a red painted piece. The red would probably look good because it will match the car and also the calipers (if I ever put them on).

What color is that? Looks like gloss gunmetal. Looks nice. 13 weeks? How much? I would do a similar color center cap and let the calipers stand out. Here are my graphite M017's. Calipers look a little orange in this photo, but are a deep Brembo red. Post up some pics when the wheels are installed.
