Chet is the president of the company and a great guy to deal with. He responds immediately and no BS comes out of his mouth when you talk to him on the phone...yes get him on the phone no problem. Here are my wheels ready to be shipped. Highly polished and clear powdercoated.

My point is don't be like me and wait until the last minute to order your wheels.

It took 5 weeks from order to actually seeing the built wheels ready to ship, another 3 to 4 weeks for shipping...long slow ride on the big ship.

The right bottom wheel is the one that shows the highly polished aluminum finish, exactly what I was looking for. BBS is the only other manufacture that offers a highly polished aluminum wheel, powdercoated clearcoat on top of that to make them low maintenance.

I went with Vossen HF5's.
Nothing against those who bought them, but I see a lot of shilling for Aerolarri's on FB and it's just a bit oft-putting for me. I also don't like the whole "limited edition" aspect (1 of 299?> ok) that they were pushing.
For a few hundred more, I'm going with a tried and true, well-known company like Vossen. I also like their wheels better anyway. I'll probably get flamed by Aerolarri believers, but that's just my personal take.

Those look nice! Do you remember what style that wheel is? Is the barrel polished as well?

Those are the mantis style in the 21x12 and 20 x 9.5 with carbon flash metalic paint. The pictures do not give the pop they deserve as when you see them in person. Mine were the second set done like that and the closeups of the wheels are on his website. I used the cheap oem center caps but the center caps that come with aerolarri badging are much better quality.
