Polished rims now black

I wanted the black rims when I was going to order my 2012. Then a local dealer got exactly what I wanted except for having the polished rims. I thought I could live with them. Finally had them powder coated matte black (one year later). Much better IMHO. Plus I see too many of the stock black ones now. So it's a little unique. Thought I would post a pic

It looks better black. Never was a fan of the polish look. 😃

I luv those rims black or polished. The only problem I have with them is they make it harder to see the beautiful brakes. If the stock rims weren't so much, I would like a 2nd set of the polished one for my 1LE. Your car looks great!

You can get those wheels from the factory in black now. You will see a lot of them also. I have been thinking about getting another set of the 10 spokes and having them done in Black Chrome. Kind of the best of both worlds.

It looks really nice, but I prefer the polished wheels on my car. My car is Black and IMHO the black wheels make it look too black, especially with the tinted windows and blacked out "CAMARO", bowtie badges, and tail light bezels. The ZL1 polished wheels are very tasteful, not gaudy like the C6 Vette's chrome wheels. When I was looking at the C6 Grand Sport, I told them that there is no way I'm driving on those wheels. They wouldn't change the wheels so that is one of the reasons I ended up with my ZL1.
