Default How shiny???

HOw shiny is the finish on the axis matrix lip in person. does it look good on a SS ZR. I have seen pictures but I heard that it doesn't look shiny in person.

the JDM doesn't work with Left hand drive cars fool. I have the USDM one which works in North America and some parts of South America. It gets a reading of 8.274, so i think Wired 24/7 is more or less on the dot. I recently had mine calibrated by Bee Ess Pee, so we all know its on the dot.

No seriously guys. I mean compare to other wheels. like the RH r5 racinghart or the volk polished lips. does it look dull in person or do you get a pretty good shine.

A polished lip is a polished lip. Itll be polished and shiny. If u dont like it, u can get it polished even more at a machine shop, but usually when u buy something new, it'll come nicely polished.
