To be honest........i didnt really like em when they were in the boxes. They looked too plain to me. But now that i see em on the car, they look pretty sick!!

I gree the wheels are sorta plain. I chose to see it as being a clean and smooth look. I could have added rivets or gotten them brushed, maybe I should have.....but I also agree they look nice. Just being 20 inches and 5 spoke........you know how 5 spokes look when they're moving. Just killer. Look pretty good standing still, too.

I sorta regret not getting brushed because this polished finished is going to be a monster to keep pretty. I already tried aluminumwheel polish. It's a chore.

It's funny, people who know me are taking bets on how long I'll have these. I told a couple guys to bet on a year. I'm promising to go a whole year. We'll see.
Here's my plan. When I get tired of dealing with the polished thing, I'll paint the wheels either silver or color matched.

The plan may change but I'm 75% sure I'll keep these a while then paint them.
