New Forgeline Finish option....TRANSPARENT SMOKE!
Saw this just today guys. Something very new, and very cool.
-Release-
All of us at Forgeline are very proud of our in-house finishing and powder coating facility. Having this capacity under our own roof enables us to deliver a level of quality and service that would simply not be possible, if we were forced to farm this out to an external vendor. It also allows us to experiment with new ideas and create cool new finish options. A case in point is our newest custom finish: Transparent Smoke.
Our new Transparent Smoke finish is a unique combination of our brushed and machined surface finishes combined with a translucent smoked powder coat. The result is a very modern appearance with a dynamic sheen that varies according to changing lighting conditions. It offers cool industrial sophistication with an occasional radiant glimmer at the same time, as light bounces from the machined aluminum beneath the powder coat.
We offer Transparent Smoke as both a center/monoblock finish (for all three piece centers or entire one piece monoblock wheels) for $150 per piece and as an outer rim finish (applicable to three piece wheels only) for $100 per piece. You can learn more about our new Transparent Smoke finish and see more photos at:http://www.forgeline.com/products/ac...nt-smoke.html.

I like.Put some cross flags on the center caps and it would pass for a "factory type" wheel.(Not too in yer face)

That is a great finish. It's a bit understated and really works well on a silver car. I still like my factory ZR1 "chromies" but man they are a lot of work to keep up. I haven't been able to warm up to the comp greys or blacks but this new transparent smoke finish may be the perfect move to tone down the "bling" factor.
