I think the glittering black is more the color I'm looking for. Is there any way you can give me the phone number to the shop you bought them from?

 

^ +1 if possible...

these are like a silvery-black powder coat finish and not like a black chrome highly polished finish right?

 

I can't tell you exactly what the process is, but it seems to be a silver powder coat over a black base (parts of the wheel that aren't showing are black, as are a couple nicks around the lugs thanks to the tire shop that mounted them). It is a more reflective, shiny finish than most powder coated wheels, but is not chrome or polished bare metal.

 

I am very impressed. I was considering those wheels. They are super clean.

How heavy are they?

EDIT:: 23lbs. Sorry just read through the thread.

That's pretty heavy for an 8.5" wheel... oh well they're still really clean.

 

The shop that mounted your wheels nicked them?

 

Yeah, a few nicks around the lugs. Didn't even notice until a few days later.

 

That sucks. I wrapped my key with duck tape to help prevent that. I hope it serves as a reminder to whom ever is working on my wheels as well

With in a week or so having my wheels mounted one of them got a rock chip so I know how you feel.

Cool! Thanks for posting those. Here's a few more from the days event:

Wow I like them. I seen some in 19's but that was way to big. 18's are just right IMO!
