My "new" GUNMETAL Si Wheels... Awesome does not begin to describe how good these look. I painted them this afternoon (4.5 hrs). They look much better, IMO, than the stock bling bling finish. If theres enough interest for a DIY, I've got in-progress pics and can write one. I don't have tires on them yet because Falken Azenis Sports are on nation-wide back order. So when they come in, they'll go on.
They've got a real nice pearl effect...
They've ended up about the same color as my OZs...

Rep Power: 424 Yes they are... but not once you strap a 215/45/17 tire to them... they come out about 1 lb heavier. The inertia difference between the 15" and 17" rim makes a big difference. When you factor that in... the 17" rims are like having an extra 50 lbs on the car.
