Black Vs. Polished Aluminum
Now I just purchased my black SS a couple weeks ago and it has the 20" polished aluminum rims. I do like them and the car looks great. That being said, I have seen some pics of the SS with black rims and I really like that look too. Now I won't go asking for too many opinions but is there a way to trade rims and tires or use them as part of a purchase against a set of black rims? I would hate to buy a new set and have an extra just laying around. Thanks in advance!!!

I've seen some polished wheels painted black that looked. Just make your painter does a good prep before painting. Also, your ride won't be availible while the wheels are being painted.

I agree. If you like the look of the stocks but just want black, powdercoating is the way to go.

Black wheels only look good with a lip pinstripe to provide a visual break between the tire and wheel. Otherwise, they tend to look like spare tires to me.
