But,would be nice to see those 2016 PVD 20" wheels on a Platinum for the sake of possible buyers/may also increase your chance of a sale.
Pics?
Yeah, that was the reason I took them off. I liked the look of my original wheels more because I removed most of the chrome and replaced with body color. They will look a lot better with a stock Platinum. Here is a crappy pic, but you get the idea.

Does anyone know what the exact color the grill is on a 13 Platinum? I am looking at fabricating a lower grill for the bumper and want to paint to match.

Those look so much better than the stock platinum wheels.

So they didn't grow on you I guess. They look good to me but that is my opinion. You shouldn't have any trouble selling those. The condition is great.

I'm guessing the wheels on Ingot Silver takes on a different look.

That was something I noticed right away on the 15 Platinum's were the rims.
Seemed very understated and I personally thought the Platinum deserved a little better.

This^^

I felt both the 2015+ Platinum/2015+ Limited were a bit of let downs as far as looks go.
Didn't feel their was enough differentiation between the 2015+ Platinum/2015+ Limiteds from the lower trim 2015+,like the differentiation between the 2009-2014 Platinum/2009-2014 Limiteds were from lower trim 2009-2014s,you could spot a 2009-2014 Platinum/2009-2014 Limited from a mile away and much more luxury looking.

Love the 2009-2014 Platinums/2009-2014 Limiteds.

I agree 100%.
I have considered trading in my current Platinum for a newer Limited, but when I park my Platinum next to the Limited, the Limited just doesn't seem to have the same luxury appearance.

On a side note, my wheels are currently listed for sale in the 2015-Newer section if anyone is interested.
