I could not be happier with my decision to go with the Diamond Black vs the Matte or Gloss Black. I had totally forgotten that when viewed in person, the diamond black is infact more like a dark graphite metallic finish, not pure or jet black. I would not have been happy with gloss or matte black because they almost look jet black and I don't like wheels that are so black that they merge and get lost in the tire. The diamond black with it's dark graphite finish is perfect Only have the pictures of the wheels for now. Plan to install them this summer and will post pictures then.

Thanks to Vivid Racing for awesome customer service and really quick same day shipping

^Tom, why the yellow headlights and what front lip/bumper is on your car?

What kind of suspension you running? Love the wheels!

Headlights are simply Lamin-x film. Keeps from having to tape them up.

Suspension is KW's V3 coilover setup, Lip is a carbon Vorsteiner GTS-V edition.

Tom, is that the lip only with a stock bumper or is the complete bumper a Vorsteiner GTS-V edition?

The GTS-V fits the stock bumper.

Simply put, its one of my favorite lips out on the market.

Wow. Do they not offer this wheel in a 10" width? Could they be "Custom" ordered if that even exists? I would be interested in a square setup when i have the cash but don't want to run 10.5" up front. Just a thought
