I'm considering removing the black halo on mine, and going to gold or copper wheels this year.
Were you at the Carlisle Autocross this year?

Black wheels looked cool a 100 years ago, but not so much anymore. I would love to see a smoked chrome wheel as the latest thing though. That would be much more interesting than what looks like a doughnut spare that even the OEM's have used nowadays.

Doable but the cost would be more for something like that.

We can do that with custom finishing option.

Here's brushed finish with double dark tint.

Attachment 48359065

Attachment 48359066

we can do this same finish over a polished base with double dark tint but I think the brushed finish definitely gives it some character.
