Man I love these wheels! The more I look at those deep concaves on my car the more I'm glad I got them! Yours look fantastic on the Orange! I think the graphite looks great, and a little darker than the silver everyone has commented on, again lighting changes that! Great choice!

Is black graphite the old gunmetal?

Black Graphite is a new 2 stage finish. Black basecoat with a silver top coat.

Yeah. For similar finishes, I believe they still have
Matte Gunmetal, Gloss Gunmetal, and Textured Gunmetal.

I went with the Textured. Black Graphite looks great though too.

Taylor, car looks great. Can you tell me where you got the rear lower panel to accommodate the quad exhaust tips?

Yeah 1"... I'd like another .5" These tires are shorter than stock, so there is a little more gap. I didn't want a huge sidewall.

You picked a good wheel and tire for autocross. That lip on the Michelin will help save your rims from road rash if you run up on the edge of the curves on the track.

I was considering the pilots just the other day, but was looking for a 305/315 and couldn't find one. I'll have to go back and check out the 295.
