As some of you may know, I swapped my gunmetal/graphite Radenergie R10s out last year for some 360 Forged Mesh Eight wheels in a brushed finish. That was about six months ago. Since then I've been contemplating refinishing the centers to give some contrast to the chrome lips. I couldn't decide on which shade of gray but finally settled on Platinum Gray (saw the color on BMW's website for a regular 5 series). Got it done last week and still trying to get used to them cause I didn't expect them to be this dark. I think they're darker than my R10s and I originally wanted it to be lighter.

What do you guys think?

I think there's sex, and then there's wheels, and I think you've achieved sex on wheels. GRATS!!! Looks great. =p

Damn Tony --- that really changes the look of the car!

I like it, I think it gives it a more aggressive look.
Reminds me of the black HRE's that hp99hp has on his car.

I honestly agree with you with wanting it to be lighter. I like the look in the sig pic. Still a great looking car but i think they are too dark as well.

Sorry James. Just about done spending my son's college tuition. Might have to seek some federal bail out money myself.
