I like the dark color on the wheels.

I can't go with shining chrome.

Sorry to stray away from the post, but I realized you're from NY and you don't have front plates. Do the cops give you any trouble not running front plates?

Those look awesome. Kinda a gutsy call going with a color you havent seen on a wheel. Transfers different from where you see it to how it looks on the wheel. Also, where did you get them done and do you know what brand of paint was used.
