Looking great , those wheels look great unrill brake dust starts covering them.

I see you went for 225 for the fronts.
What are the rear tires specs?

For those asking, no OEM lug nuts Won't fit , I had to buy new lugs for my wheels(19" LFA)

What finish did you get on those wheels? Where did you get the center caps?

They are indeed. I happen to live next to hayward where the guy has them and i picked them up. I was a little sketchy about getting them but i couldnt be happier. They are well worth it

I thought they did too, but when i had them mounted the guy told me they need tuner lugs. Good thing i kept the ones from my old car.

Brake dust...! Yea im gonna have to go with the low dust pads next time i swap them out.
Rears are 255/35/19. They mount pretty flush with the wheel. The fronts stretch out just a wee bit

They call it hyper black. Seems to me hyper black is a few shades darker than hyper silver.
