looks really nice!

haven't personally used teflon wheels, but they are quite durable.

is it stock height?

So if you fry eggs on them, do they stick? Seriously though, why did you opt for teflon coated? What is the benefit?

Ha well other than doubling for a frying pan, teflon coating resists brake dust, dirt, and other road grime, staying cleaner longer and when they do get dirty, they are extremely easy to clean.

Also, it is supposed to be an all around more durable finish, resisting scratches and what not better than a chrome clad, or polish aluminum wheel.

And probably most important to me is that I wanted an aluminum wheel in order to decrease rotating weight, and I also wanted a black wheel, and painted aluminum often doesnt hold up well, but the teflon coating is supposed to last. Plus I just like the look.

Thanks, I plan on painting that grille black when I get my black sport bumpers, maybe I will mask off every other bar to break it up a little, or leave the outside ring chrome...dont know yet.

I'm not a fan. I bet it's hard to keep clean. =)
