Yep. I agree, black is PLAYED OUT. I like gunmetal and bronze. I am getting a set of gunmetal rubicon extreme wheels from quadratec for my JK U. I have a set of gunmetal 17" for my mazda 5, and a set of level 8 wheels in bronze for my black suburban.

Those new Level 8's that just came out in the bronze are bad ass. Thinking about doing bronze/gold to the TrailReady's....

Man it's a relief to know I'm not alone in thinking black wheels are overdone. Almost every friend/relative asks why I didn't put black wheels on my jeep. Hell, half the factory wheels put on cars today are black or mostly black.

Those level 8s are so sweet! I'll probably add bead locks to my wheels down the road (if possible), and paint them and the center caps white.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I'm really really happy with them. The install was very easy. Took about an hour per wheel. I'll post some pics of the install as well.

I'm glad I went shiny. I'm tired of the black wheels as well, everyone has them. I'm a fan of the old school... Shiny rims no matter what color the vehicle is. These wheels have gotten looks everywhere I go, mainly because they are so unique compared to all the other options that are available out there's these days.

The price on these was spot on, the product is top notch, delivery was very fast, and customer service was superior. Highly recommend DV8 Offroad if you're looking for wheels, or anything else they have to offer.
