The wheels are cheap beacause they are cast aluminum unlike the origianl wheels from Gm that are Forged wheels. My wheels look great and I went with 20x10 front and 20x11 rear with 285 front tires and 315 rear tires. Everything included was under 3000 with tires mounted and balanced. Go 20x9 front and 20x10 rear if you want to keep your original tires.

Looking to get the FRs 20x10 & 20x11. I'm settled on the satin/matte black but I've heard these wheels are painted, NOT powder coated. Also that the inside of the wheel isn't painted at all. In my experience any unpainted or unprotected area in which bare metal is exposed to the elements can leave you vulnerable to rust. Can any one confirm if these issues are true or not??

Are the wheels not powder coated?
Are the wheels at least full painted or only in the outside/wheel face??

I would not put them on my ZL1 due to the fact that we are pushing close to 600hp....but these rims look awesome on SS and 1LE Camaros as well. Just don't plan on going to the track with the repos.
