What manufactorer are you looking at? There some on ebay but I don't know if they are quality. I want to get the same ones!
Also, just in case you know, one of my tires is "hard to balance" according to my service place. They have to put a lot of weight on it and it is still never right. Do you think it is a bad tire or bent rim? If the rim is bent, how do I go about diagnosing that?

cplancha, I think you mean the wheels. I had the same problem with my black ZR1s from OE wheels. I got them on Ebay for a steal, though, so I dealt with it. You definitely get what you pay for with wheels!

Yeah I made a thread about those a while back. I was thinking about getting them. I bought the 17/18 Polished instead, but I still love the machined.
Who knows maybe if they look good enough in a real pic I'll sell my polished ones for machined ones.

invest on some quality tires, since thats what is the only thing connecting your car to the ground....
Michelins IMO make the best quality tires.....usually the least out of round on the balancer and if they need weights its only very minimal

JGKadell ... I'd do it for you but the wheel and your car are at conflicting angles. Need a shot of that wheel or your car at closer angles.
And yea, these wheels are nice.
