the dimples in that pic are from the wheel itself having an improfection in it. I got those wheels off ebay as a "dinged" from the factory... 2100 dollar wheels for 450 bucks... couldnt pass it up...

I gotcha. I would have done the same. Camera pics sucks anyways. I know that must look bad a$$ in person.

i didnt think that the first set of wheels looked that bad, but the new ones are a world apart from the old ones. a huge step foreward IMO. looks fantastic man. kind of stealthy looking if you ask me

I personally like the chrome ones better...It's on of the few chrome wheels I like and it's actually making me consider the s281 over a fbody shhhh don't tell anyone

Either way sharp @ss car like you said how could you pass it up!
