Hey Scott111184,
Nice wheels... looking at the same set in hyper black for my silver/black '04S, but just can't decide yet whether it's that or a silver wheel.

Happy Motoring!

Thanks for that valuable info. I didn't see that explanation on tirerack website and for a guy who can't make up his mind between like a dark smokey chrome look or a silver look, this might be just the ticket. I like the idea of the subtle contrasting image shifting with the sun. Now to look around here and learn whether I should consider 18" or whether it's best to just stick with 17" wheels. Offset of 40 with stock flares and not lowered, still may be an issue as well. Lots to learn.

Happy Motoring!

That will look good! I wanted to do that to put these on my girls car, but couldn't decide whether to do how you said, or go with the anodized lip. Looks good either way to me! Show us results!

Before

With stripes

No stripes


no more stripes, all blacked out! looks a lot different the then CR/W with white rims that it started off as. and yes, i know i need a drop BAAAAAAD! but i have an ongoing battle with Houston roads that are already beating me, so I think a drop will make it worse... I still want to though...

Hook up a set of TSW springs from your Dallas brethren and they will do just fine on Houston pavement!
