Kinesis Supercups, 18x8 18x9.5. Taken apart and powdercoated "Black Chrome", retorqued, resealed and lips polished. I got lucky and got a great deal on them but they werent pretty. Expect to pay over 2,000 for a nice set...

OOOOH! Ronal R9s!
Me Likeys (look left)

I thought about doing something like that with mine when I refinished them, but since my car is far from "nice" on the visual side, I just had a cheap powdercoat job done.

I don't have the "sunken in" prob on the rears as my set is 16 x 8 and 9 inches wide, rolling on some yoko 032Rs for the track weekends.

Again, great refinish job as I was considering the EXACT same thing doing a color match blue before considering the time, $ and abuse they were going to see.

Be careful when you lower the car, make sure you have enough stiffness in the suspension so you don't rub your wheels when autocrossing...I saw a turbo last November that had his car lowered and not enough stiffness that he rubbed his front valence across the ground in turns and his rear wheels rubbed in acceleration...probably embarrassing

I still like the matching wheels...
