Well its just everytime I see a crossfire, it has silver trim pieces. Plus with the color of the wheels the silver would look weird. I think that painting the trim pieces opal would set the car off from other crossfires, plus it would match the wheels.

Im ot so much worried about rim protection, the streets down here are flat and pothole free. Plus the car doesnt get driven a lot and only places I know the roads. If a wheel does get damaged I have a wheel repair hookup so its no biggie. I tried to find real BBS LM's but i havent been able to find a set in 5x112, nor in decent sizes and offsets.

The set of 4 is 896. so not too bad at all, centerbore is 73.1 so all I need are some hubcentric rings and I'll be fine

Hopefully going to be able to get the wheels in a few weeks, being injured and disabled makes doing anything but laying down painful
