Is it just me, or is the color/finish more of a really dark almost gunmetal color? Compare them to the stock wheels or some others, they’re not black black, ya know? Hope that makes sense. I love them. Love the color.

Very easy! I can't see why you would remove the wheel, the filter is under that little cover which you need to remove to gain access to it... the little filter spanner with a 3/8 attached to it fits perfectly to get it undone. Use a torque wrench of course to tighten...
Also, since using the race ramps, with the car slightly tilted back, the engine drains better. Previously, keeping car level, and filling with 10 quarts, I had my oil level all the way up to the top mark. Since I put her up on ramps, 10 quarts means half way between the marks....
I did drain for a couple of hours though, so maybe it was that; not sure.

Sorry about this, good thing you are ok!So today i was passing a pen dot truck going about 65 with slightly wet roads and decided to drive sideways on an embankment for about 100 feet flew into the air roughly 15 feet(someone going opposite direction eye witness) and then went off roading another 100-120 feet down about an 8ft ditch until my car stopped. What a wonderful Friday the 13th!

Fair point. They really aren't 'black'. They are more of a dark gunmetal. They look so great in person. Signature can probably comment more on the process to achieve the color but its almost like they take a standard forged wheel and apply layers of black on top of it. Its awesome....and unique for sure.

so sorry to see this. what were the temps outside and were you on the cup2's? I'm wondering how much the climate and the tires played into this...So today i was passing a pen dot truck going about 65 with slightly wet roads and decided to drive sideways on an embankment for about 100 feet flew into the air roughly 15 feet(someone going opposite direction eye witness) and then went off roading another 100-120 feet down about an 8ft ditch until my car stopped.

Cup2's and rain don't mix. Glad you escaped without any injuries and hopefully you learned from this harsh lesson.

Oh no, don’t get me wrong, they’re perfect and would be what I want. Just wanted to make sure I had the label right on that color/finish, whatever it is.

It was about 60 F outside. was raining a couple hours earlier and the roads were barely wet. By the time the tow truck got to the scene the roads were completely dry.

Sorry to see the mishap. Cars are fixable. Im in Chester County. I got my R in October 17 and between PAs "lovely " roads and cool fall temps even on dry tarmac I had the tail slide under minimal throttle on a turn ive hit thousands of times. I recovered but that was the last time I drove cup 2s on the street. Unless its hot and sunny they can be sketchy on the road. Hope to see your car back up and on the road soon!So today i was passing a pen dot truck going about 65 with slightly wet roads and decided to drive sideways on an embankment for about 100 feet flew into the air roughly 15 feet(someone going opposite direction eye witness) and then went off roading another 100-120 feet down about an 8ft ditch until my car stopped.

Roads are the slickest after a light rain, a heavy rain will give it a good washing. A light rain and damp road is the slickest. As learned to me from my motorcycle safety instructor Kurt, many many years ago. What mode were you in? Regular or sport? I hope it was not in track mode.

I was in regular mode with sport steering. I think i'm going to drive with steering on normal from now on and i don't think ill ever turn track mode on unless I'm on a track after all this lol.

I wouldn’t take anybody giving you a hard time to seriously. Anybody that acts as if they’ve never made a mistake with a vehicle let alone a high performance car is full of it.
