I like the carbon flash paint on the standard black 5-spokes better, but I like the look/design of the Q91's better.

They were ordered on the dealer spec'd car I bought. I think they're a great contrast to the car's color and tie in nicely with the black accents.

Have them on my HGM. Really like the design. $1,000 for forged wheels is a great deal. Yellow Z-51 calipers look great in the background.

As like a couple of other responses, I don't much care for black rims either.

I love my Black Tridents but I do think the new “base” rims is look sharp! I went with the Paragon 10mm spacers and GM splash guards.

2 hours?

ceramic coating plus any decent wheel cleaner and a pressure washer and the dirt just comes right off.

love them but if you order them, remember to add the black lug nuts, for some reason people are doing black wheels with chrome lug nuts, not sure why but looks stupid to me, they should look like this...

I agree. Sort of like the silver rim around the outside of the 20-22 carbon flash wheels. Black wheels need black lugs. Look great and thanks for sharing
