Polished wheels : Coated or Not - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I was wondering if anyone knows if the polished wheels will come clearcoated to protect the finish and eliminate the need for polishing them, unlike with bare metal finish aftermarket wheels? Thanks for the info.

The polished wheels on my 07 Cobalt where coated, so I would assume they will be on the Camaro also.

Most likely will be clearcoated. My 06 factory "Chrome" 20's are.

Glad to hear they started coating them!!!
