I don't believe that black is a factory paint option. I had them custom powder coated.

Just the handles. The window trim is matte black but the vents (hood and side), and rear license plate trim are all gloss black. I'll. redo the window to gloss black one of these days but for now it's fine and nobody is going to notice.

Thanks everyone. from what I've been able to gather, it seems to have been caused by the way the spacer fits against the Vossens. There are 5 gouges where the actual wheel lugs appear to have prevented the wheel from sitting flush against the face of the spacer and weakening the spacer lugs (which would also explain why I've had to replace snapped lugs during rotations). I'll post some pics of the back of the wheel tomorrow; however, I have a feeling that if I remove the other three I'm going to see the exact same thing.
If this is the case, I've been driving a ticking time bomb for quite some time and it is extremely, extremely fortunate that this happened to the rear wheel while only pulling out of a 7-11 instead of cruising at 75 mph down the highway with traffic.

That freaking sucks that the spacers basically destroyed your rims and at the same time f up your vehicle
