The black lip sure hides the rotor dust. I was forever cleaning my stock polished 20's. Now I only need to clean the wheels half as many times as I did before.

Interestingly, now that I have my stock polished 20's off the car, I noticed they were made in China. I should have never paid the wheel premium for these when I ordered the car - I should have just gone with the midnight silver wheels and saved the $400 for use later on wheels I liked better (made in China or not). Let this be a lesson to those of you making wheel choices.

A car manufactured in Canada with wheels made in China, will you look at that?

Thanks!

My first wheel choice was the 20" Vossen VVSCV1 "Concave", but Vossen told me NONE of their 20" wheels would clear the Brembo brake package. WTF?!
It took me a while to narrow down manufacturers that made 20 inch monoblocks with offsets to clear the brakes.
