WBC is a bit darker than chrome, but has that dark look on some angles.

the T1S is truly the most beautiful rim and looks the best on our cars...

i was going to fix the curb rash on my rim, but after seeing so many pictures, no doubt in my mind that i will be getting these, just don't know what color.

go 19x8.5 +33 for the fronts, & 19x10 +38 in the rear and you will be nice and flush and with the right tires you wont need to mod the fenders. This is what i was and I only did fender mods on the rear due to the tire size I ran. PM me if you want more info I cant wait to see these on your car Mike. and what is up with the IM done modding we all know that no one on this site is ever done

google rim offset for a more detailed explaination... basically if u have a 10" wide rim.. the middle of the rim at 5" would have an offset of 0.. +25 offset means u would move ur spokes 25mm towards the outer edge of the rim.. +35 would be 35mm.. as the offset number gets larger the lip becomes smaller..

Black polish is a clear coated polished finish face with a black inline, and the WBC is a Work Black Chrome, it's a darker painted chrome finish. It looks simular to the new stock IS x50 rim color, but more of a "metallic chrome" finish. I thought I wanted that finish until I went to the distributor and saw it. It looks great, but I didn't want a painted finish this time.
