Chrome lips weigh more also because of the Stainless steel lip its adhere to.

IMO Chrome is only good on the lip and the rivets. On the face looks ghetto.

I like your choice of black face chrome lips. This is what I originally wanted in the XIX wheel design. The company ddint offer it as an option and for those companies that do its a frigin rip-off at an est $250.00 a wheel additional.

I have developed a method with a friend for painting aftermarket wheels that include removal of the fake plastic rivets and installation of new ones once done. Cost is est. your labor plus $75.00 dollars materials and about $100 for chrome rivets. I'll post up in couple a months once done with my project on how to do so.

Yeah I'm really feeling the black/chrome combo. The rim that I wanted is way more than I wanted to spend so I'm looking at an alternate to it. I'm now thinking about selling my OEM's and tires and getting a wheel/tire combo 20's. I need to get this done as it's starting to be a pain. Anyone want to buy my OEM wheel/tires??? I'm thinking about selling them for the right price.

If you have a polished lip and polish the **** out of it with Mother's Billet or similar then it will look every bit as good if not better than chrome.

And I've never had a camber kit and don't plan to it's not needed
What year is your car? Is it the Sport? I'm looking at the same sizes and I'm looking at these wheels too now but want to be sure it will fit on my 2010 Coupe Sport.

its an 09 S. they should fit just fine. whatever brand wheels you are looking at just call them up and tell them exactly how you want them to fit and they will take care of you

Thank you; if I may ask how much did you pay for them? And where?
