Where did you guys find them in 19x9.5 in black???

You can PM me since it won't be a sponsor.

For the record, I have the HP evo's in the dark spoke variety and love the way they look.

I would get black Lightning's. On a Pewter car (which is my fav color next to Hugger) black wheels are wicked looking. My future Pewter LS1 will have black something on it. JMO.

I have been thinking about going black as well. But how do black lightnings look in person? In the pictures they always look like just a big black hole, hard to see any detail. I would love to go black, I have black black bird stripes, calipers and Trans Am letters.
