I have a steel grey GTS. Has anyone seen, or better yet have pictures of a GTS with stock black chromed wheels. Im considering having mine done, but would like to have an idea what they would look like first. I know I dont want to powdercoat them black as they would be too dark for me..........

Heres a link to what Im talking about.

One of my former employees worked there before. They do a really good job. I got a tour once and was very impressed.

Lyle, those are iforged astra's in anthracite finish. The car belongs to Matt from Speedwerkz or GTSNRT10 from VA. He is the guy I bought mine from. I have the exact same wheels and color setup on my gts. These have a polished lip and like I said, anthracite centers. The look is incredible.

I found a set of Forgeline VR1s. I was going to go with black chrome centers, with chrome lips, but because they are the 1 piece wheels, that wasnt an option. I sent them to calchrome for regular chroming. I would have left them like they were, but the clear coat was scuffed up pretty badly. If I dont like the straight chrome look, Im going to get a set of VR3Ps with the hidden bolt option, and do the black chrome centers............

Ill post some pics when I get them back.....month and a half or so.

Glad you like:D The anthracite centers actually match my 02 Graphite perfectly

How can I do a group buy on here for anyone wanting a set?!? If I can sell 4 sets the price will be CHEAP (in the standard finishes):eatpop:
