Pic Request: Velocity Anodized Rims
One would expect Velocity to have pics of all of the colors and finishes of their rims on their website. But, they don't have the anodized finishes up.
It says they have available: Black, Bright Gold, Bright Silver, Silver. I've seen gold. Can anyone link me to examples of the other anodized colors.
How different is "Bright Silver" from "Silver"?
Anodized Gold:
Thanks.
Rock on.

They are not chrome. They are high polished aluminum. Very dope. I think that finish requires maintenance, though.
