Default New friend, Old love (Work Equips)

I have always missed my 19" Equips since I sold them 2 months ago. But now I have found a replacement. These are the one of the last sets of 20" Equips. The finish is "Burning Black" It looks like black chrome but more silverish on the finish. As you can tell, it has its moods it goes from a silverish to gunmetal to completely black depending on the lighting and the angle. Here are a few pics.
I just recieved these fellas yesterday. I still have to clean em a bit. Tell me what you think. First is my old love

Looks good bro! BIG for another "white g". Been dying to see pics of one with gunmetal/black chrome finished wheels. Please try to post more pics under various lighting conditions so we can all get a greater appreciation!

Ahhhhh, back to the Works I like those on your GS SOOOO much better than the other (10 or so?) alternatives you've had on the car. Good choice, I'm glad you picked these over those G35 rims

Finish is spectacular
