Gunmetal on OB?
Ill put it this way, if it was my car i wouldnt do it. I am a fan of the GT-C's but not in gunmetal. And to put them on a black car it just doesnt look right. Again, thats just my personal preferance. Your gonna decide if you like it or not, afterall it is your car.

Yeah I think I agree. I got them for so cheap they are coming either way. I could have them re-done in black chrome or chome or polished or ? and still have gotten a great deal. So I may go that way with them once they show up.
I don't think the lips on the GT-C are as wide as the Sevas. So stick to the Sevas. Powder coat them to gunmetal if you want to change the look. I think it will look hawt! I had two sets of gunmetal rims on my black car and I loved the way it looked.
Why do I bother to DIY???

Hey Tim - did you buy them from the guy on Craigs List??? For $1700 + shipping? If so...good deal! I really considered it and even corresponded.
I like your car as is though....looking at Floyd's car...not a fan either of gunmetal on black. I think it would look good on silver car though.

Yeah, that's the guy. I just got a tracking number from him a few minutes ago.

Yes you are right, the lip will not be as big on these. The rears are only 9.5's and they are higher offset. The fronts are the face 1 made for larger brakes and the rear is face 2 for more lip so it should still look good and not have the spokes that are so curved like the sevas for a lip. I like that the offset is higher so they will not stick out a little like my Sevas do and being 9.5's the 275's will not be as stretched. I might even be able to fit 285's!
I agree on the color, I have seen some that look good and some that don't. I will decide once they come in. Since it only cost me $1800 with shipping I can chrome the whole wheel or powder coat the face black for another $400-600 and still only have 2200-2400 in it.
