That looks fantastic! How much heavier are those wheels over stock?

They are pretty light actually, rotary forged should be under 20 lbs.

I love that these are not completely black. I wonder how it'd look on Ultramarine.

18.6 lbs for 18x8

With my tires, comes in one pound heavier than stock wheel and tire. Way more grip with these Hankook V12, can barely slide on turns where I use to oversteer.

I will expand on what Zach said above... Those look amazing!!! Something about them just looks proper and "in place" on the car. Love it

Thanks,
Rick

No, I've seen some BMW forums show them with black powder coat, looks great.

I merged your topic with the other topic about the Nurburgring 18x8.0 +45 so that it will all be in one place.

I like them, but ever since I saw a Black Edition Porsche Cayman (black paint and wheels) I just really wanted black or gunmetal rims.

I don't think they're too shiny at all! They're not as dull as silver painted wheels, and not as annoyingly shiny as chrome wheels. The perfect balance for me. The gunmetal on the inside is a good accent.

I would like to add that I bought these wheels from Custom Wheels Outlet (CWO) on eBay (http://stores.ebay.com/customwheeloutlet). I received the wheels without hubcentric rings. I called CWO and spoke with Nate, who is shipping me free TSW Hubcentric rings. Nate was knowledgable and nice, will definitely be doing business with them again. CWO also had a killer deal on these wheels on eBay and they shipped quickly via UPS.

FYI, if you purchase from CWO, call them and let them know what car you have so they can add the hubcentric rings with your purchase.

I really would like to see these wheels in mirror finish on a white Frs/BRZ. I think it could look really good, maybe awful.I just wanna see it before I place An Order.
