Again, thanks a lot for all your nice feedback!

t0e:
The calipers aren't painted yet - it's still stock.

ThoLE:
There's no color code for that kind of paint. It's a two step procedure:
1. paint the wheel black
2. cover the black wheel with a glossy silver. The more layers you've got, the lighter the wheel turns out. This way you can match the final color to your preference/exterior color.

fantom:
I guess they just roughed them up. They took the wheels off the car and the tires off the wheels. I really wanted a clean and professional work, not a rush and sloppy thing..Maybe that's why it wasn't really inexpensive. It's quality over money

ExclusivIS:
I just received the taillight turn signal- und reflector red outs that I've ordered from CA, USA

lol, that is exactly what I was thinking! Save yourself some money, don't clean your wheels.

Seriously, with the SGM it looks great.
