Rose gold polished, they took awhile to get done, but they sure are pretty. Now the wait begins for shipping, but I can't wait to see them on my HTC Red Mist. Outside lighting Outside lighting Outside lighting Inside lighting Inside lighting Inside lighting

They take 4 weeks (Boat ride) from this point to get on the west coast docks in the hands of Fedex.
that's cuz I bought a second pair 2 weeks ago.
I told him I needed plain black for decals.
You can text Chet for a second pair if you want something different.
Center Caps
Stock center caps loosely fit into the Aerolarri wheels, so I stuck 3M double sided tapes around the "prongs" and they fit nice and tight.
Not a very good view but you get the picture
I think they turned out great! You could modify centercaps if you wanted it black.
Review The Company
Chet has been awesome to deal with. He responds quickly to email/text and resolves issues quickly. When someone else's wheels were delivered to my house, he took care of it right away.
Fitment
I think he nailed it as far as the wheel specs. I have absolutely no rubbing. The rear fits perfectly flush with the quarter panel. The front could be a little more flush but I'm sure that would introduce other issues.
Color & Finish
The color is exactly as I hoped. It's almost like a black chrome but a little lighter. I've had a few black wheels in the past and the design of the wheels are typically lost in pictures. This is not the case with black ghost glazed polish. The color in the pictures are actually a little lighter in appearance than in reality. I will say, when I looked closely at one of the wheels, I noticed one or two areas where it might be slightly darker/lighter shade than the rest of the wheel. That might have to do with the fact that the wheels are hand polished. Not a big deal in my opinion but I can see where it might bother others.
19"/20" vs 20"/21"
I think the 20" wheel up front is just the right size. The 21" rear looks ever so slightly too large at certain angles but I think it's still better than the 20" which I think is too small. That's just my opinion and would depend a lot on wheel style. As for ride quality, I can't say I detect much difference between stock vs Aerolarri. The Aerolarris might be ever so slightly harsher? Hard to say.
Mounting & Balancing
So I took my wheels to a TireRack recommended installer with great reviews to have the wheels road force balanced. When I picked up the wheels, they said they could balance all four wheels but could not road force balance three of four wheels. Not exactly sure what that means but they said that I might not be able to tell on the road, so I put the wheels on and went for a little trip at varying speeds and I have to say I couldn't detect anything wrong. I have to say I'm a little skeptical about whether person knew what they were doing considering it took them hours to get the wheels on and, in the process, nicked one of the wheels (that's another thread). I could take it somewhere else to get it road force balanced but I don't have a need at this point
Final Opinion
I think the wheels are great! The company is great. The owner is great! The price is great! And thanks the the wheels, now the C8 looks great!

Where did you get the tape? The wheels look awesome by the way! Got some 19/20 Futurity in Graphene Glazed brushed on the way. I hope they look a good as yours!

Thank you for the compliment. I've actually had the tape for awhile from previous projects and if I remember correctly, I picked it up from the local automotive store. You can also find it
. Also, it might not need to be double sided tape. It just needs to be thick enough. The tape I used is .045 inches thick so if you went with something ever so slightly thicker, I think you'd be good.
