Not many gunmetal options out there.

my dilemma exactly when picking wheels. i decided to go with graphite 57xtremes, so i'll post a pic when they come in (i've only seen a couple of photos of grey BRZs with them). i was afraid that grey wheels on a grey car would blend in too much, but there's a grey vette at work with grey wheels that looks awesome.

also, i think that the grey needs to have a few highlights here and there, which is why i didn't debadge it, left the tail lights as-is and left the chrome trim on, so it doesn't end up a 'grey ghost'. the stealth look is nice, but not for me personally.

The tails are actually very bright and red in person, not pink like they appear in some photos.

I'm really considering copping a set of these. Too bad I missed out on that group buy... oh well. Thanks for the pics!

BRianZ · 04-30-2013, 06:41 PM

I got mine from Zeta Performance for the same price as the group buy with out the group. I got them in 5 days, but I think they are back ordered now.

I just installed mines today. Pictures don't do it justice. The red tube looks amazing in person.

Drove around trying to find a decent spot right after getting it detailed and Opti-Coated. Great color.
