Looks sharp, I like the polished look vs the black. Changes the look completely.
Are you not sure about it?
Im going with CCW SP16's for a similar look.

Ohh, i love the look!! I think it's perfect.. but then again, it's mine and i am biased.

Thanks. will hope to get the rears on tomorrow to sport the new TPE T2's... should look pretty sweet... CCW's were not wide enough even with the 325's out back.

Are the T2's the ones that are more a more gradual flare than the L5's? I like them better than the L5's, the flare looks more natural

They look awesome, very nicely done. Obviously, I'm a big fan of black rims, but those HREs just look right on your car, can't wait to see the whole thing with those fat rears!
