I'm an ***.....I like the black RACE wheels

If NISMO offers them at a reasonable price, in, like 8" and 9", X 18", I will VERY seriously consider them. Kinda anti-chrome.

But, if they really are Magnesium, the price will be stratospheric

I guess I'll pray that Centerline changes their mind and offers RPM's in Z sizes.

BTW, Dr.....how's the curb?

"You will need a centernut conversion" -VQracer

Not to mention the cost, and hassle, of having them xrayed every now and again. (Unless something has changed with Mag wheels...)

Mag wheels can develop cracks inside that are not visible to the eye. This can lead to major breakage. The only way to tell if they are ok, is to x-ray them. The manufacturers do this before they ship the wheels. But over time and use on the road these cracks can still occur. Thus, requiring them to be inspected from time to time. Or at least that is what I understood to be the case. Maybe the manufacturing techniques and alloy technology have increased significantly enough to make this unnecessary.

Yes, I am talking about magnesium wheels, but I do sometimes confuse them with "S.A.R.Y."

Now THAT's what I meant it to look like. To call me a photoshopper is really innaccurate. I am just a "cut and paster" really.

Just so you know, I never said that I liked it, I just did it cause someone said they wanted to see what it would look like.
