Thanks for the comments , good and bad. When i bought the wheels there wasnt alot of options besides the motegi Dv5's and and casinos that everybody was buying. I was going for something original. I have a bit of curb rash on the one rim and the guy i called about repairing the wheel does coloured chrome. I am toying with having them refinished them in "black chrome" , like the GXP wheels...wondering what that would look like with the granite..... as far as the chrome inserts go, they're plastic (i didnt realise they were so cheaply made when i paid lots of money for them) and ive replaced them twice now. Without the inserts the 6 spoke design is original and they are a good looking wheel , but the black is a little too understated for me. I dont really want to go for bling chrome....maybe gunmetal? im pretty much sold on a black chrome finish. Any input?
