what color is it called? it looks really glossy for a normal gold

Did you get hubcentric rings or are they not necessary?

Looks like Chrome powder coat.

holy fawk that gold finish is amazing though.
never knew these were such a well designed wheels..the stock finish def killed it for me personally, now - one of my favorite with that finish..

Looks good. Making me rethink 235/45 on my 17x9 rpf1s though lol

Absolutely beautiful! And I thought my rims looked good. Loving that color!!

Exactly the same here.

Just got my set on Friday. Still trying to figure out what tires to go with. Did a test fit and I may have to take out the camber bolts and just go with the top hats I have.

Got tires mounted (245/40 RE71R) and then bolted the wheels up and rolled it outside to get some pictures. Way too excited for the snow to be gone!

I got my 17x8's about 8 months ago. Had them off for winter. Completely change the look of the car. Put them on two weeks ago and at my first stop someone commented on the car. The concavity on your 9's is boss haha.

Originally, I had 17x8's on order, but the 9 just looks so much better, so I called the shop up and had them change it. Now I get to play the waiting game :(

What size tire are you running?I'm thinking of getting 17x8's.

235/40 on stock struts/RCE yellow springs. Drives nice.
