Sport Muscle CM5 Machined Wheels: Pics?
So ever since the 35th Anniversary SS came out, I've LOVED the machined late 4th gen SS wheels with the black accents and I've been extremely curious as to how similar treatment to the 5th gen SS wheels would look. I found out yesterday that Sport Muscle is doing this exactly.
Has anyone seen these on a 5th gen yet? They're not horribly expensive, so maybe I'll buy them sooner or later because I like the concept, but I'd really like to see them on the car before buying them. Alternatively, has anyone seen the American Racing Villain wheels on a 5th gen? It's a similar idea, but I'm not sure I like them as much as the machined "stock" look. American Racing Villain: Sport Muscle CM5: For what it's worth, I'm not really looking for you guys' opinions as much as I'm looking for pictures.

I like the Venom just for the fact I don't understand why you want to purchase wheels that look just like stock that your everday person will never notice their different. Just my opinion but both look good.

Because I love the stock wheels. But I also love the machined look with black accents and wish that Chevy had offered it as an option. Simple as that. I don't care what people think about my car or my wheels. I care what I think about my car and my wheels.

Quick, not so great photoshop of an old picture of my car. I'll probably do a better one with a more recent picture of my car.
I like them, but I'd still like to see some real-life pictures first...

Slightly more recent base picture. Still a quick, not-the-best job...

if you love the look of the stock ones , then take them to a shop and have then accented like ones you used in the photoshop. this can be done if you fine the right shop. it will probably be cheaper.

I've thought of this, as well. However, I'd kind of like to hold onto the originals. On top of that, the design isn't exactly the same. You can't produce the same ring of silver with the stock wheels. That portion of the wheel isn't flush with that area of the spokes.
