Lol little late for that but it's all relevant and all good It looks like it's darker than mine - maybe hyper black as compared to my hyper silver?

Yep. I would be worried about it if I tracked the car often or made sufficient power to chirp all wheels.
Biggest suck about it is that your wheels are at every pothole's mercy.

I'll definitely have pics up once I test fit them. If the weather holds I may run them a day or two to see if the fenders have to be rolled as well.

Well, traction is also necessary for braking. You might not notice it while accelerating, but I can't imagine it doing anything good for braking.

And while that was more objective, I must subjectively say that I personally don't even think it looks good - the opposite, in fact. But that's just me, I guess.
