I have the polished version with silver windows...

Check my gallery.

I can't say enough about the quality, great wheels for the price.

The 225 is just a wee-bit stretched for my liking on the 8.5" fronts, but if you go any wider, you must drop the aspect ratio or else you will hit the suspension bolt. The problem with doing that, is load ratings.

I would love to go to a 235/35/18 but those are all SL rated tires... we had XL from the factory and I don't want to risk a blowout at 130+mph...

On the rears, you will need to upgrade to at least a 265, as the 255 on the factory 9" rim is at the limit of being stretched already. I would recommend at least a 275/35/19 to protect the rim of these beauties

I also have the Silver Wilhelms with the polished lip.

Great quality, and a perfect fit on stock tires.

Bought them online at Wheelstudio, spoke to Eric, who knows the Xfire well, and got a very nice price shipped to my door, with lug nuts...

I went with the black. I run 285/35/19 on the back and 225/35/18 in the front. I love the look but it was a real b!tch to get them balance with the TPMS. Fourth attempt and they smooth as silk.
