Guys, I may be wrong here, but are those not the 16" 'Bird wheels in that picture?

The Black CETA wheels are the 17" WS6 Wheel, painted or powdrcoated black.

I'm pretty sure, I wanted a set until I priced them

I'm pretty sure those are 17's. Look at the space between the caliper and the inside of the wheel. The 16's have a real small gap between the two.

Ya know, now that you mention it, I think you are right. I stand corrected!

I think it's the chrome center cap throwing me off.

Sorry!

IMO I wouldn't paint those chrome wheels. If anything sell those and buy the Silver w/ polished lip WS6's from AAArims for $500. It would hurt my heart to paint such nice chrome wheels.
