Wow +38 doesn't poke as much as I thought it would.

I'm on 17x9 +45 and mine look very similar.

My 17x9 +38 functional setup.

Great shot rt. The Glossy Black look great on the blue. Good choice.

Thanks! One thing I realized after getting the wheels is how easy it is to get water spots on the glossy black. If I don't dry the wheels after a wash or if it rains they look awful. I slightly regret the colour but I think it's still better than gun blue on a blue car.

The gun blue get spotted as well, but I'm sure it isn't as noticeable as the gloss black

I'm afraid it might require the same amount of maintenance as black paint.... Maybe a good layer of wax at the very least to prevent scratches?

OR maybe C5 Wheel armour + wax?

Hows it holding up to scratches so far?

Yeah I might have to give them a good wax. I've only used Soft99 Dust Blocker so it's easier to clean brake dust. In terms of scratches, I literally got them installed last Friday and I don't drive Monday-Friday so they're pretty much new still. Maybe someone else can chime in on scratches?

That looks great.
What's the performance difference like compared with the stock wheels?
