I like the look but for some reason i dont think that burnt finish on the lip is gonna stay that shiny for too long. Unless you meticulously clean them and dont ever scratch it (impossible), it will look like crap cause it wont reflect multiple colors on any blemishes you will ever get.

Just my 2 cents. otherwise i think they look really awesome.
and im with cherp on this one, go gold, and not just cause i have gold 5 spokes too =)

I agree with the above post I don't know exactly how the other companies do it but the gramlights have a cap over the actual lip and it has the rainbow effect. These ones may only have a thin film coating on them for all we know. I saw a group buy on zilvia.net with the gramlights for a good price. You may want to check it out.

thats exactly what was running through my mind how long will the lip stay that way instead ive moved on to another set of rims these are still on the list but xxr 507s are higher on my list they are 5 spoke they are a really shiny gold and not expensive at all also i may consider painting all the black the parts white to match the car

They are interesting looking you going for 18s or 20s? BTW I looked up the 57s-pro gramlights from that group buy and the 19s with the lip cost a little over 3k shipped to the states. Might seem like a lot but that's actually a good price for them but still too much for what they are in my mind.

I LOVE the burnt lip and have set my sights on these Konig Afterburner's! I'm kinda torn between the chrome or the black as I have a black SC, but I think the chrome would look amazing!

The 5 point comes with a all chrome center now. I've seen these in person and they really look good. This is the only pic I could find though.
350z: not my car



Much better than the original color combo's IMO.

I love the whole neo chrome lip idea but those rims look even cheaper than sportmaxs. Dont go white because that dingy AZZ Pearl diamond white wont be the same color as the wheels.

I voted no, but the only way they would work is one a white SC with gold package / gold emblems.

Gold out of the 2 on a white SC only.

I'm in the wheel buss.And I have not seen this brand.But if the offset is good and the price is fair.Then way not.I say gold.On the hand if the white is a color match. Then you know what you got to do.
