Those Work Emotions are awesome. The pics you have of the hyperblack and bronze will look nice w/ black car. Will you be able to get the lettering back to original? That really adds to the wheels cache factor.

The safest way to go is Full mirror polished with a dense powder clear coat to knock down the relection and give it protection. It'll look sick on NBP and non-factory.

Wait...when did you get a lip kit?

Is that new?

I didn't see that last time I saw the CL.
