      You decide..

      Wheels went to Forgeline to get the fronts re-set for offset (due to the new C5 stuff). They found they were taken apart and reassembled badly by the previous owner (bolts WAY over torqued), so they asked me to send in the backs as well.

      Also found that the center were painted and not powdered. Since the wheels are going to be taken completly apart I figured I might as well get them powdered in the center for more durability.

      Can't get a metallic flat color in powder like I had so here are my choices.

      Gun Metal - a charcoal gray metallic color. Is clear coated and shiny.

      Carbon Black - Is a satin finish black. Is a bit more higher maitanace due to the nature of flatter paint (more poreus).

      I have to replace the bolts as well. Standard 12-point chrome or Titanium with Jet nuts. The TI ones cost a bit more but shaves over 2-lbs off each wheel (at the outer edge of the wheel where it's more important).

      So pick your favorite and help me make up my mind.. lol

      Here's the site where you can see the stuff:

      Ignore the Onyx Black.. it looks gray but I was told it's really just shiny black and hard to photograph
