Luv it.

I'm really thinking of switching to lighter color now... either brushed or gunmetal.

Ha!! thats funny cause I just pulled the trigger on my 65 and am dumping my Charcoal 843's for some brushed faces on polished lips. I already have a black HRE wheel on my 55 and its time to go back IMO.

great choice in wheels, looks like the factory 63 wheel but with a nice lip setup.

Black on black always looks good, but silver keeps it sporty with a touch of class behind it IMO.
