Leguna Seca replicas? Black w machined mirror finish.... ???
I just swapped my Forgestars w summers for those with my winter tires. Really nice look and a really good price. Aluminum Cast, but it serves a purpose without looking drabby or so common. Nice pick.

Yes, and thanks.
I got them for about 1/2 price from the Ebay arm of American Muscle. They were only used for a photo shoot. They have Sumitomo HTR Z 3's on them, and I wanted an all-season tire, but I guess I'll just keep my oem 17" wheels/tire for winter and these for summer... unless I can sell the Sumitomos.

Very nice! I'm a little miffed because I really like the look of those now.... but the ones I got were scratched up.... so I have to get them powdercoated a solid color. (The ebay seller is paying for it)
I could get them repainted & get the facing sides re-machined, but it would be a lot more than I want to pay for it.
But I'm also thinking that powdercoating wll be more durable than the soft bar aluminum facing anyway.
Now I'm back to being stuck on what color I want. I'm leaning toward dark charcoal though.

I went with Gunmetal..Forgestars for the summer Commonly referred to as anthracite. which in the right light will shift from Grey to Black to Silver in appearance. would likely compliment your car's color nicely..... Me thinks

Dropped the wheels off at the powder coat shop today. Went with "Boston Grey" with a light texture. It was the darkest non-reflective grey I could find, and I think it will stand out nicely with the ingot silver car.
Color is kinda similar to this picture:
