the silver is a little bright to me. Still getting used to them opposed to my polished oem ones. I got them local for 600 with new nitto tires on them. one has a little rash but im a tech and have a wheel guy that comes to our shop, hell fix it for 45 and you will never know.

It's a VERY bright silver. I think it looks great. I wouldn't even powdercoat them. The contrast looks good. Sometimes I wish my wheels were still stock. I loved the stock silver, but I had to get them redone to fix curb rash anyways. That's the only reason I got mine powdercoated, although I do still like mine. I wish I had a spare set to swap lol.

haha thanks guys. And theyre growing on me a bit more i washed and waxed the car today and they looked great cleaned with some tire wet. Ill probably leave them the way they are and have my man fix the one that has a little rash. It didnt even gouge the rim just took a bit of paint off. ill have it done and you wont even see it. At first i thought my oem polished ones looked better, but i race my car and call me crazy but the oem ones looked to homieish for me these rims make my car look more sporty when im on the track and compliment the car more as opposed to having a sporty car with "cruising" rims
