MSR 045 Hyper Black 18x8

[I800C0LLECT]

So I had ordered GREY!!! Should I send them back? I really don't like the shiny stuff. Anyways, they are 35mm offset. 245/45/18


Updated with early morning pictures. I think they're growing on me.

















Update. I like'em Added some tint too!

ugh, drunkie you bastard LOL

those look awesome, but if youre not into the finish then send them back. i personally love the hyper black. its an awesome finish but ultimately it comes down to what you want

[DreadMcLaren]

I think they look alright. The shine makes them stand out a little bit.

Or...send them back and get your money back and use the money to tint the windows

[I800C0LLECT]

Maybe they'll look better after tint, SE lip, and drop?

[PurpleGuy]

im usually not big on wheels with that many spokes....but those....omg they look sexy...and i love the finish.

I completely stole the idea

However, if TSW Nurburgring wasn't so expensive, I would have chosen those.

I don't like them shiny because it accentuates the curves. So you end up with a shadow in the middle and takes away from the WHOLE wheel. You end up focusing more on the spokes than the fact that they are "Y" shaped. That's why the angled photo looks better.

Thanks for the compliment tho Maybe I'm just being an "11" and I need to get the other things done first.

honestly, i like em.. hard to say if grey would be any better....

you're absolutely right. however that does also give the wheels more depth. and the shift from silver to gun metal to near black just looks amazing if you ask me. besides any finish aside from matte will have the same effect. some to a lesser extent, however, yes.

I guess you're right. Kinda goes along with my "stock" theme anyways. I don't like my car standing out as if I did the work. Once the rest of the car is done up I want people to question if it was aftermarket or pontiac.

If people think it's "other" than stock that's when theft becomes an issue.

I'm definitely not upset; it looks good. Just not the look I was going for

[Mad Monkey]

Plus really, they will get dirty and that will take away some luster, until you clean em, and really who doesnt love shining up some wheels!

[Bio248]

i like that they arent black.

car needs a drop.

[vailskier3]

those look like misschelsea's wheels. did you steal 'em?

[I800C0LLECT]

uh....who is misschelsea?

These are the rims that Drunkiethebear use to have on his vehicle; different color.

i like that they arent black.

Planning SSC's and SE front lip. Don't know how soon. Hoping to buy the springs in a week or two? Depends on planning.

[SilvaMan61]

1. i doubt they will take them back after you put them on your car brochacho
2. they look better in hyper black than they would grey.

Well I've already returned 225/55/17 tires with 68 miles on them and they gave me full price. They were the ones that mounted the new tires while I was at work and then placed them on the vehicle. I had no option but to drive off. I have to admit that it took me a little bit to realize they weren't what I ordered.

My original quote is on paper with "gray" rims too. Why do they have to spell it wrong?

But addressing your second point; they're definitely growing on me. But at first look they didn't go along with the color scheme I had been planning for the car. I think I can work with it though.

I'll probably just keep them. If anything I'm sure somebody on here wouldn't mind them

[16MustangVet]

Keep them tint and lower. I like the hype black IMO

[boosting98]

I like those alot! I feel they are just enough but not flashy.

Can I ask what they were supposed to look like? Grey rims seem odd to me.
