I saw this! And while the Alpin 5's are definitely impressive, the issue with them is availability. I'm looking around and things look very bleak as no one has 'em in stock. I could get the 829M's with the Alpin 5's already on them, but I really don't want the 829M wheels since they're cast wheels and the roads I frequent are seriously awful; not to mention my disdain for their styling.

I just placed an order for them through Summit Racing, they are estimating a ship date of 1/24, which is very seriously not likely to happen if at all. However, if things don't look good by then then I'll just opt in for a set of VikingContact 7's since they're readily available and live with them this season. We just got our first bit of snow around my neck of the woods and I feel like this cold season will last well into March, so I really don't wanna get caught with my car's metaphorical pants down.
