In my opinion black chrome gives you some shine with the over the top shine of standard chrome. It's also not very common atleast around where I live.

I would do like a midnight silver powdercoat color like the darker 5th gen RS wheels have.

I did a black chrome powdercoat on old ZR1 wheels. I loved it. It was bright and shadowed out pretty dark in the ports, more dramatically than the pic suggests.

OP, what size spacer/adapter are you going to use? I want to widen my 10 spokes as well, however cannot decided on whether or not to go 10.5 or 11 and which size spacers I will need to get it rear flush with the fender. Any advise? Sorry, i'm a noobie when in comes to wheels/tires.

Just used a bfh. Some have luck some don't.

My 17x11s zr1s didn't need anything to make them fit, but, I was running a 315 555r which are much more narrow than a 315 nt05r.

I could of probably used a 1/4" spacer with longer lugs, I still may but for the amount ill be driving on these, ill probably just leave it.

Going to pull off the passenger valve cover seems like one of the rockers is making more noise than it should. Hopefully Chang the oil too. The fusion needs brakes first.

Mounted up, passenger side wheel hits on really bad pot holes so it still needs some finessing.

LT4Vert, Those wheels look great. Do you have any pictures of them on your car? I am getting mine done this winter and Im thinking something similar to that.

I love the 10 spokes but I am still unsure of color. I think I want black. I should buy some plastic dip and try it out.
