Black Wheel Question:
 

I took one of my wheels off today to take it in to get the tire replaced (F-ing nail). I noticed this before and chalked it up a brake dust, but anyone else notice GM really went thin on the paint? The only part that has a good black covering are the spokes. Im a little disappointed to say the least. I have black rims on my other car that have a better finish and are 1/3 the cost of these. Is this normal?? :yikes:


Here are some pictures

Looks like i got a free polished lip on mine. :sm0: i also noticed the "CAMARO" is faded quite a bit.

Yeah mine are the same way. So thin at the center of the rim its almost translucent.

yup very light on the inside of rim same here

Almost no paint inside the lug nut holes. I was going to ask the same question.

Looks like we are all in the same boat. when you have a dark colored car like me or a black one the discoloration sticks out like a sore thumb. wonder if warranty will cover repaint?

And here I thought black wheels were the way to go! :mad0260:

Maybe powder coat them!! :iono:

I know I ordered black, and I'm pretty picky about things, so of it bugs me, I may just have them powder coated and throw in my body color as an accent!!

Yes very thin. I posted a thread on this forum or another asking for feedback as well. Its comforting to see others are experiencing the same thing. I think GM needs to step up and fix this issue.

Agreed. Im going to contact my dealer tomorrow to see what they have to say.

Adding paint to the inboard side of the rim costs more $. More in extra processing - not the cost of the extra paint itself. Most wheels wont have it from gm. Most customers wont notice anyway. How many of u noticed before removing the wheel from the car? My bet is that if it gets to a gm regional rep they wont pay based only on that... but if your camaro logo is thin looking, they better!

They have to start somewhere regarding on cutting the weight down , don't they

WARNING
 

Thats how GM kept it under 60k...:sm0:

Lol makes it look like spray paint.

If you get anywhere with this, let us know my ZL1 got here at 11:30 last night and I have the black rims as well got to go check...
