The lighting affects the way they look, from very light to very dark. Here's some night pictures.

Tofu, are those 19"s or 20"s? Do you have a drop? Also, do you have some daytime shots of them on your car? Any pics would be appreciated.

BTW, they look sick....

Those are 19", 8.5 all round, 245/35/19 Generals. Not dropped, don't intend to. I like to think he's going around eating up other cars . Nothing about them says "elegant", which is what I feel lowering achieves.

No day pictures yet, I'll try to take some tomorrow. Here's more pictures of the wheel...

i think the matte grey breytons are nice too because they should be easier to keep clean, no polished lip to get brake dust on every drive lol.....

Yeah, and even though I like the look of black wheels on white, I feel like black wheels from a distance just look black and you lose the details in the spokes. The matte is dark enough to give you the contrast, but not so dark that they just look like black "blobs".

Oh, and the whole black with polished lip look....I'm just not feeling it anymore. I see too many Chrysler 300s, Chargers, Magnums etc. with those around here, they almost have become rice.

It is so true that the lighting has quite a different effect on the matte grey GTS. In some other pics of mine. I honestly thought that they were matte black rather than grey. I think that's great because if gives me a different look based on time. BTW. that AW with matte grey GTS looks awesome!

headlights on the graphite car

Sorry to jack the thread, but what has been done to eliminate the amber on the headlights on that graphite car? Are those overlays? If so, what finish?

Thanks

Could you take a shot of the rear 1/3 of the car on Wednesday sometime between 3:45 and 3:52 PM with the sun hitting the car from the west at approximately a 38 degree angle.....

But seriously, are those wheels clean or dirty (i.e. brake dust)? Just trying to get an idea of the wheel color on the AW. If they are dirty, I won't hold it against you
