Default Got my new wheels

It actually doesn't ride as bad as i thought they would. The color is a little different then i thought it would be, they have a darker gray look almost like gunmetal grey. I was expecting the same color as the phonedials but i kinda like it.
Ill get some better pics this weekend.
Thanks for looking
Antonio

nice look. Almost look like theyve been sprayed a different color, or they are just nice.

Maybe put an 8mm spacer in the rear? It would look a lot better!

Nice wheels.

Thanks,
I to think the wheels look almost like they need spacers, my car is a 86 and these wheels are made for early offset. Almost make me think the later offset might fit my car but i know they wont.
I do like the color shade, not to dark and not to light.

I have gmetal on a black car, I don't like it all that much. Too many shades of black/grey between the paint, tires, and wheels.
But I also have bright silver wheels for the same car, I think they look a little too bright.

I agree, something between the level of gmetal and silver seems right on a black car. Or dirty gold/bronze, like what Ian did in the picture below...


I think I might paint my track wheels that color. EDIT: Scratch that idea, I have blinging bright yellow calipers. I guess I'm a slave to shades of black/grey/silver. OOohhh.. powdercoated black 17"twists or something like that, on my gloss black car, w/ yellow calipers...


Antonioali- good looking wheels. Post up some better lit pics and I'll add them to the wheel guide in my sig.
