Thanks for all the As you all know black wheels is the trend with most sports cars, I feel it adds a serious tough look to a car. but there are countless style of black wheels out there, I was going nuts trying to decide from the type of spoke to black chrome or all black, at the end I feel with out a little bling or ring of color, the wheel turns in to couple of black whole, specially on a lighter car.
So these wheels are by Factory Reproductions. Being I only paid $595, shipped on ebay, I'm still not 100% sure if they will stand the test of time, such as pilling what have you, but they are brand new.

Next tough decision, carbon fiber splitter/side skirts or painted to match..I leaning towards painted.
