Sorry no black w/ polished lip available. The reason I'm getting these wheels is because they only weigh 14 lbs! I'm looking at a better 0-60, stopping distance and gas mileage. Looks are kind of secondary. Thank you for your votes! So far silver is winning 13 to 5. hmmm thats alot of votes

hyper black would look clean if your car was low with a lip kit and black housing headlights and duals

Hey whenever you get them, please report back! I want to see how much they really affected your gas mileage. I've been wanting new wheels, now I have the best excuse ever

I dont know what happened. It seems a couple of posts have disappeared. I mentioned in one that I would definitely consider the rotas or motegis if america's tire sold them. I bought a set of wheels from them a few years ago and I'm hooked on their customer service and prices. Plus their store is only about 1/2 mile from my house. Thanks for suggesting those.
