Nice new rims, cspec. Maybe another picture with not so much contrast will help us see how the car looks better?

P.S. We need to see those old Volks of yours on another GFM stat :P

Nice wheels dude! Those Volks look like the TenzoR DC5 v2 that I was interested in. http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/roa...5v2/index.html
I guess that's how my GFM would look. But, white certainly looks nicer with black. More pics and specs please.

i tried for about 2 weeks, calling about every plating and custom motorcycle shop within an 800 mile radius from phx (that i could find with dex)... and i found 2 sources to plate black chrome. the hitch is that they would not do low qty "custom" work...

they were industry leaders in the plating business, and wanted a PO to black chrome hundreds of parts before they would talk business.

i tried Black Zinc plating (over a nickle base, yes i de-chromed my emblems). The finish would turn out an iridescent looking black, with a high gloss...

After 3 months with this guy, the emblems were returned, and they came out like crap! He didnt charge me a penny, because he felt so bad. The guy even tried taking and 2 of my emblems down to copper (last thing before plastic) to try a different approach.

Long story short, my paint shop now has them and will be color matching them.
