FYI the wheel in the second pic is not damaged... that is some of the lube to get the tire on..

Your thoughts...?

Those look real nice. Everytime I get a new wheel something else comes out a year later that I like better. I currently have C6Z(first gen) deep dish wheels and love them but I really like the ones you have more and more the more I see them.

That's a lot of black on one car. Have you given some thought to running a red pinstripe around the lip?

Don't get me wrong, it'll look good either way.
