I was gonna say....if they're made by G-games, then they're probably not titanium.

Isn't G-games a "budget line" of Rays Eng. wheels?

I think that is a chemical process of some kind. I remember coming accross a local company that would do that to chrome wheels. It seemed to be targeted mostly at the 'ballas.

Very funky looking effect, I just don't think it fits with my taste.

Unless I'm mistaken real titanium wheels would be heavier than the aluminium rims we currently run.
We have a winner.

Konig made a titanium version of their "Imagine" wheel years ago (looked gold plated) and it was 27 pounds for 18" x 8" size.
And although Konig isnt the best brand they make one or two decently light wheels-namely, the Konig Helium- which is much lighter than the titanium wheel.

sorry guys, not titanium. It's a finish that Rays was market testing at TAS. If it actually does go into production, it will only be offered on their gram lights and daytona series wheels at a small upgrade fee... though as of right now, there not planned for release any time soon...
