Default Can someone please clariy these SSR Sp1 true color?

Both of these rims are supposedly in the SBC (Super Black Coat or is it Super Black Chrome?) finish. But how come one of them looks real dull and the other one looks like it's almost chromed out. Can anyone clarify?

neither one looks dull and it definitely isn't the same finish.

Sorry, not dull but not as shiney as you'd think the "SBC" should be. So is the one on the right the true SBC or is it just chrome finished? And what about the one on the left?

Thanks Vinh. But how come when you go to order the rims they only show SBC? they don't ever say super black coat or super black chrome. Or is it that the SBC was confused threw time and it was never truely explained.

Those look to be just the plain Silver ones, which have somewhat of a dull look to them. All of the SP1's except Flat Black and Silver are pretty glossy.

Here is a link to the SSR official website with a picture of the Silver Professors: http://www.ssr-wheels.com/wheels/sp1_17181920.asp

I moved your link to the Wheel and Tire forum. You might get more responses on this there.
