Ooops.

The dealer was not happy.

All is good now.
Ok, good! Rims look good too.

I personally don't think you could go wrong either way, stock black 10 spokes or powder coated over polished aluminum..

AMEN.

Has anyone ever painted or done anything cool to their 10 spoke black wheels?

I wish the 10 spoke black wheels had a ZL1 marking on it like the silver ones do!

Somebody should make a 20" Grand sport wheel to fit the ZL1.

Talk about mean looking !

Just got mine done today. Wish I lived in Michigan, mine ran almost 400. A little pricey but it really sets the whole car off. I wish GM issued the polished wheels this way. I used a bodyshop not the dealer, I don't trust them.
