Is that the machined silver ones, or did you get that done?

I didn't see any noticeable difference in mpg and rarely see any extra debris or anything, thou during the rain I do get a little more splash onto my rear quarters but I am running an 11 inch wheel with a 315. The look of that 315 to me completely makes up for the occasional debris

What size tire and wheel do you have on the front? I agree, I love the look of 315. It makes the car have even more muscle

That is another forum members car who had original ZL1 wheels powder coated that color. It is a little darker silver than the silver machined ones that FR sells.
I have the polished replicas.

I have a 275 up front with a 10 inch wheel and a 315 in rear with 11. Doug at factory reproductions will get you set up with correct offsets with the fronts because there are two options depending on if your lowered or not

Thanks. Just finished talking with Doug about my options. I'll have to think some more about the sizes but I do know I want the satin black. I saw the gloss black in person and I want the finish that is more like the OEM finish which Doug confirmed is the satin black.

but sometimes they appear the same when I compare pictures.

I thought the gloss black would shine more than I want but can't really tell if there is really a lot of difference.

Also does the satin black have any shine or is it a matte/flat black?
If you're in Hunstville, TX I'm selling my set (with tires and TPMS) in a week or two and I'd make you a heck of a deal on them. They're about 4 months old with less than 2k miles on them. But they're gloss black.
