Sweet wheels and the car looks great. Blacked out halo, on the rear bumper and tint not to mention blacked out lenses - very tasteful (thinking about doing a lot of the same thing on mine).

That was my goal, subtle mods that are tasteful and look like they could have come from GM.

I lean towards black and even I wouldn't do that to those wheels. Your Choice is one of the best I've ever seen in here quite honestly. I would love to have those wheels. Totally dig the more raw machined finish.

One question I do have is, are they still in production? I've always been hesitant to by a wheel I knowingly can't replace if one gets damaged? If the price is right though it's worth it.

It's my understanding that they are still available. I guess if one gets damaged it may be time to make them black as this finish was a $600 option.
