Looks Great Ghostteck! The rims look deceptively smaller at certain angles but as mentioned, the pics probably don't do justice

One of my all time favorite wheels. I actually like the new look way better than your previous look with the polished lips and black centers. The polished look and black centers have been done waayyy too much nowadays.

Well, you will have someone with the similar color scheme next season. I'm getting them refinished over the winter as planned. I just gotta change it up a bit. Face is going to stay the same, lip is going to be gloss black. As for thing that is going to be different, still contemplating.
