Teaser pic - my new wheels be installed on Sat
OK, I can only post this iPhone photo of my new wheels:
One-piece forged.
19"X8.5" and 19"X9.5".
Weight ≈ 22.5lbs in 9.5" width.
Powder coated in NIC Prismatic Powder, one layer of chrome followed by one layer of black on top.
235/265 Michelin PS2's.
I will post more pics when the car is professionally photographed shortly for the mfr's wheel catalog.

Stainless steel like finish
Top Coat Information:
Top coats are transparent colors. The color of the substrate under a top coat will affect the finished appearance. To simulate these colors, a silver metallic or "chrome like" base coat must be used. For the brightest finish use USS 4482 Super Chrome as a base coat.
I have playoff tix here, as soon as they are done with I'll be back.

Klassen are some of the top quality wheels we sell. Its one of those wheels where you really get how good of a quality they are when you look at them in real life. Congrats on going with Klassens, they will look great!

BTW I spaced out...these are 8.5" and 9.5". Now, on to the business of the day. The wheels did not make it on today - we miscommunicated about the TPMS sensors, so we had none to throw on. I called South Bay MB and the only 4 we could find were at Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach. Status in Torrance was doing the job so I had to turn around and buzz down to F-J...got there at 1:12 but they had closed at 1:00. It"s all happening at noon on Monday...

Quite true...the plan was to take an long afternoon run up the Coast Hwy today and then take some pics tomorrow. And, thanks to all for your kind comments. I hope they look as good on the car as they do off.

WOW!!
I think I remember you @ one of those Canyon Meetings.

As far as I remember, you were very conservative in you future mods...
BUT
BH, you made a huge step up.
Very interesting choice and a nice set up.
Good luck to you fitting those amazing wheels...
I will be waiting for your future write up.
Very interesting choice (I would even say rather brave) Keep it up

It's actually chrome powder, not chrome plating. Here's the NIC description below. IMO they have way too many similar colors which makes choosing one very difficult, but the goal was to end up on the light side with a "deep" looking finish...I do not particularly care for dark wheels and on these wheels I wanted to preserve the effect of shadows.

They are finally on. There will be 3 sets of photos - amateur (me), semi-pro (still on my USB stick) and pro (catalog shoot on Sun). I'll post a few more of the serious photos after the weekend. These are a few quickies I took outside Status...big props to Frank, Josh, David and the whole crew at Status! What an incredibly meticulous job they did today for a very picky SOB...let me know what you think.
