I looked in the latest wheel catalog I have and couldn't find the gay section...

I like that style of "Y" spokes but I prefer 5 of them compared to the pictured wheel with 7. Just looks a little too busy to me.

I've been wrong before, but they look like TSW Nurburgrings that have either been custom painted or clear coated with gloss. Hard to really judge the color without seeing them in person.

I like the style wheel and color works, but lower it and the front rims look too big to me would go one size down

I do, makes the brakes look puny. Would need to upgrade to zr1 brakes to look right IMO. That's what has always kept me from going 19/20.

I don't love the color either if I'm being honest. Black or gunmetal would look better IMO.

Yay for sure! I like chrome but these do set off your car. Be careful if lowering as you may bottom out on speed bumps and if you have a steep driveway.
