Looks good but too bling for my tastes. I'd get an anthracite/gunmetal finish maybe w/ polished lip

Looks great. Would recommend a painted face w/ polished lip FTW!

Default hell no in that finish.
that Scottish guy on here has (I think) the same wheels in flat black, and they look pretty cool.

i still think HREs are a ripoff though. take a look at the BBS RS-GT, which is very similar in design and spec, but probably $200/wheel less.

Default That's my car about to get them re-done...
Textured black does look fantastic but not great for day to day use. Getting them re-done in brushed and clear.

Default Prefer P/M40's over 890R's...
...something about a deep lip on this car just doesn't work for me. Not a fan of anything chromed.

Classic pattern.
