Anthracite BR5s?
I've been riding mismatched rims for the last 3 months. Can't wait to get rollin' again.

I took them to wheel technologies (near 35 and 635) a little over 500 to have 3 rims refinished (to fix curb rash), and all 4 powdercoated.

Hey Mantis, you've always had these wheels right? Just got 'em recoated?

I kept thinking you had the Mayas for some reason.

the two are NO comparison.

Falken/ADR/Motegi, even the very popular Axis have nothing on quality wheels. Too often noobs on this forum are comparing them. I guess it's a reciprocal of our resale value.

I agree with you actually. They look smaller now.

The problem was I had 1 rim that was beyond repair. I couldn't order a new one from anybody, and Japan wouldn't make a new one.

I found a chrome rim on ebay, and had to do something to get them all matching. So I decided on powder coating.

Its not bad, but I did like them better when they were silver.
