Thanks to Bob and he's crew at House of Wheels. Got my new wheels installed yesterday and just striped the first one and had to share.

Kind of hard to tell, are they gray or black!
I can say they look good, talking with Bob yesterday, and just love yours.

Well, I guess I'll have to say they look great since I just put the same wheels on my cyber gray car (except I went with gloss black). The red pinstipe on the wheels really jumps out after I painted the calipers red. Looks good - congrats!
