You will not get a credit on the $1200 RS package if you add the $470 polished wheels on top of that option. I wondered the same when trying to decide if I like the looks of the midnight silver wheels or not. Since then I have seen them in person and I think they look really good. I plan to go with the midnight silver wheels on my 2SS/RS.

The three 20" wheels - Midnight Silver, Sterling Silver, polished aluminum.

Can any of the "photo experts" put those in 1 thread?

Please see the link below for a thread which has photos of various Camaro wheel options.

Although my favorite is the polished wheel, the RS wheel pictured in the first post needs more credit than that pic shows. The smudged look is from all the dirt and grime from having been driven on what looks like snow/salted roads or some other type of dirty road. In other words, those wheels need a good washing! A better pic (and there are plenty of 'em floating around here) would help someone decide is they really liked these wheels vs. another.

Good thread though!

My favorite is still the 18 inch 1LT wheel. I wish that one was available in polished.

I love it. The car is beautiful on its own and doesn't need shiny wheel to distract from that beauty.

I'm not even going to replace the wheels, I'm going to drive the stock Midnight ones.

me too, and if they won't fit over my brembos, i'm gonna go with C6Z wheels (assuming they're the same bolt pattern)

Here's a good comparison. The wheel at the top of this thread is just plain dirty! I think the "uneven finish" mentioned is what made these wheels look so cool when that Daytona 500 pace car was in motion...

I will note, however, that the Midnight Silver wheels do appear slightly darker in person than they look in this pic. IMO

After seeing them on the configurator, I'm thinking about really dark grey, or black wheels.

They are too dark looking for my liking - on a black car maybe they look cool.
