Regular silver aluminum but blue would accent nicely.

do the chrome(silver) the AEM logo is already red with the yellow text.

Blue would make it start looking like a toy. plus since your strut bar is chrome i think it would match nicely.

It used to be chrome. I sprayed some engine degreaser on it and forgot to wipe it off. Considering the high temps of the STB sometimes I wonder if it will come off. Any ideas?

ive been checking out a few wheels lately. and compairing sizes. Are you happy with the look of the 18x7.5? I was honestly looking into 19's but for the 1" difference in size im not really wanting to spend $100+ per wheel.

I love my 18x7.5's. Especially with the 225/40 tire. No rim poking out, no rubbing. They're perfect.
