Thanks. The wheels arrived and I was surprised by the color. I ordered the bright silver but they are more like steel gray . They look a bit lighter in the sun but not at all like the picture I posted which I like. I contacted Element Wheels and sent pictures but Forgestar said that was their silver and there was no mistake. I didn't want to install them that way so I went to a powder coating specialty shop and they will apply a new metalic silver coat and cover with a clear powder coat. They should be ready in a couple of weeks. I ended up paying a lot more for this setup than I had planned so I have my fingers crossed that I am excited with the end result! I will post pictures.

Getting rid of the stock wheels and run flats!
