About these wheels? I like the oem look. Anyone ordered from finish line wheels?

Can someone show or explain the difference between machined and hyper silver finish?

Machined or polished is a shiny finish. Hyper silver is silver with maybe a slightly glossier/shinier finish than silver, but for the most part silver and hyper silver look about the same or similar. I can't really tell the difference between them.

Those wheels look clean; look like the IS 300 wheels.

hyper sliver is a LOT nicer then sliver. It's actually my favorite color of rims. The picture you posted is sliver and this is hyper silver.

Actually that one is way too shinny, in real life the rims are more gray but not nearly gunmetal gray, gray.

I like them but they really don't seem to have any purpose besides better looks. I don't think those clear any type of bbk and they are not much wider if wider at all then the stock SC wheels meaning you cant run a bigger tire with them.

Nah they run a little bit wider tire. Stock wheels are 16x6.5 these are 17x7. You may be right about them not clearing big brakes. I may upgrade but don't plan on changing size.

Anyone ordered from finish line wheels before?
