Or, I was looking at these... Boyd Coddington Osiris, but they are polished aluminum (lots of work) and more expensive..

Are they as dark as the ones on your wifes TA? Those seem more grey than silver??

Youre wifes TA looks killer with them, but my car is black.

They are like the ones on my wifes TA. A friend of mine (SS on Your Six) on the this board has the same wheels on his Black SS, and it looks great!!!! You will really like them if you choose to go with them. The black version are REAL nice too, just a thought, I saw them in person and they are awesome!

The Osiris are nice, but real expensive, you are looking at near $2k for the wheels only, nice but not in my budget.

Don't forget about the Budnik Cobalt's if you like that style of wheel.

I like those Boyds better, but the if the Privats are cheaper, go with those, since they look almost as good as eachother.

The Privats are ~$400 cheaper. I was trying to keep the wheel price ~$1k or less. I dont see any sence on spending $2,3 or 4k for a set of wheels. I dont have that kind of cheeze to throw around

How much do the Budniks run?

Thaks Scott, Ill PM SSOnYourSix and see if hes got more pics. I wanted those wheels pretty bad too
