I dont have any Gunmetal in stock, but do have some silver and white and silver sparkle's in stock..
What are you going to settle on now?
16" or 17" would help to know for me.

that's really early for winters...they can chunk if you run them in really hot weather...be careful with that.
Yeah I hear ya. I'm really praying I don't have to go this route, for obv. reasons. But the winter tires are looking at their last go-round this next winter. And by October, it's really not warm here. I would have to be careful during the next 2 months tho...

Definitely 17". And are you talking about not having the ADR Exe's in gunmetal or any wheel? Like I said, I'm totally up for looking at other gunmetal rims with a similar style to those. I know you like to stay objective, but at this point, could I get your opinion?
I am planning on blackhousing my OEM headlights, and tinting my OEM tails (not too dark). Since everything is going dark, should I consider black rims too? The car is Naples Gold. Maybe it would better with black/machined lip after all?
Opinions are helpful! Thanks so much guys.

Ew. Not a big fan of black on gold. I think silver or chrome would look good.

Hmm, could I get a quote on those perhaps? They come in 17? Maybe I am going to have to rethink my color scheme...cuz they are really nice lookin' rims. I still think the gunmetal would tie together the blackhoused headlights and tinted tails, but who knows. I just need some RIMSSS at this point.

Yeah gold and gunmetal would be fine. Its just the jet black with the polished lip on gold that wouldnt look so great.
Also, I drove on my Blizzak's well into May because I was waiting on a second set of 14" for my higher treadwear tires. I balded the RF one, but that was because of a bad alignment....

I have 17x7.5 Rotas on 225/45-17
I had to roll the rear lip to prevent tire rub and it clears fine now, I think I'm going lower now!
