      Interesting color choice. Never seen a polished outer rim with a black inner rim.

      On many specialty applications like Pro Touring cars, we suggest a black anodized inner rim to finish off the wheel. Hides brakes dust and grime and is easy to clean.

      That's a great idea! I know some of us are using more race-oriented pads these days which have been known to be corrosive....I take it the anodizing helps with this as well?

      sik68, exactly, anodizing is an extrememly durable finish and very resistant to corrosion.
      A lot of todays race pads are metalic and the dust can be very damaging to the wheel. An anodized inner rim is much easier to maintain.
