I don't like black wheels, but I think those have enough metallic gray (from what I can see) to make them really look good. Nice work!

They are actually a "gunmetal" type grey. Oh and I gotta love the 345s in the rear

I ordered the plain chrome wheels from WCC, they take the polished CCW 505a's and chrome plate them for you.

They are so awesome and would look great on a white car so what is your home address????

I was blown away to see that they were 345's. They looked too stretched untill I saw you had 13 inch wide wheels.

Good choice and very tasteful. It is a nice departure from the bling bling chrome, polish look that everyone gets all the time.

For my car chrome will not work. Dark color cars look great with it but white.....nah.
