They are a little darker than the Summit picture, but not as dark as the website picture.
Do you mind sharing the width, BS and offset of your wheels? Any rubbing up front or clearance issues on the rears?

Better photos are coming after the suspension settles, an alignment, and a detail. But I just set my '80 on the ground on its new wheels and tires for the first time last night.

Forgestar F14's in 18x9.5 (-12mm offset/4.75" backspace) bright silver finish with Michelin Pilot Sport 5's in 275/40ZR18 all around. Stock brakes, factory Gymkhana suspension front and rear. Bilstein Sports front and rear. No mods, just new parts.
