i do like the polished lip prostars.. very different. i dont like the prostars on that flat black camaro.. i'm thinking more of a very shiny gloss black, not matte or flat on the wheels.

Weld's new R/T wheels and 2.0 wheels come in with an option of a black machined face.

I thought they fit with no modification? You can clearly see a spacer on the rear wheel.

They do. His spacer is because the car has a narrowed rear and the sidewall of the tire was making contact with the LCA.

See I don't like those. I couldn't figure out why then I realized it. The ones in post 3 have a bigger painted center. They actually did part of the lip and left the very outside part of the lip polished. I like that look WAY better. When you just do the center they look very VERY small.
