I wish I could photoshop them on to see how it looks.

I want to order but I just can't decide.

I like the black alot in the pics but I'm nervous it will be to dark.

How do you add a poll?

I just found the weight on these babies.

23 lbs F and 26 lbs R

I wonder how this will compare to stock?

That sucks I really like these!!!

As much as i do like the black with polish i think the silver one just edge it out for me on your VR. Really tough call though. Both would look good.

But if you are nervous about the black, silver might be the better option. You dont want to regret making the wrong decision. Are there any other pics of the black?

The black does look nice, but on this particular wheel I think the silver looks better. You can also see more of the details on the spokes compared to the black ones.

silver................
black looks pretty sweet, but those RH's in silver on a VR would be classy & just so sexy...

That's all I could find on the black wheels. I love black wheels, but I just can't picture what they will look like on VR.

Does anyone have a picture of black wheels on a VR?

I want to order tommorrow but I wanted a bunch of opinions b/c I value fellow owners opinions.

50/50 on votes this makes it even harder now to decide.

If you could get rid of the polished lip, I'd say black. If not, silver.

Don't you wish the wheels actually came with the Brembos?

Silver looks so much cleaner!
