New Wheels (back in 1LE Form!!!)
So after taking off, selling, putting on, taking off selling etc. - I have settled on the final look for my 2014 1LE - she looks OEM, but with a shine! I opted for the Factory Reproduction ZL1/1LE wheels (20x10/20x11) in Gloss Black instead of the Matte Black.

Did you make any $$ on the deal? Then I would say you are ahead. Although to a 1LE owner those repros are easy to spot and they are a little heavier than stock.
Liking the gloss black. You car looks bada**.

They look good, but forged aluminum stock 10 spokes > cast aluminum repros

Best looking wheel on a black car. I like the matching look!

yes, I made money off both deals! I agree the OEM are lighter and better quality, but I was not a fan of the Matte Black look (wheels/hood/etc)...I like the Gloss look better so it's a win for me, not for Matte Black fans!

Looks good. An outside pic would be cool.

Looks good! I don't like the 1LE hood either. It looks weird not matching the color of the car!

I don't mind the black hood... But there are times I wish it was glossy paint instead of the flat wrap.
It blows when you are waxing the red paint and accidentally get a little wax residue on the vinyl. It is a PITA to get off.

Just so you know the wheels that come on a 1LEbare not matte black. They specifically say they are light gloss. And if your a good detailer you can keep them like that!

LOL @ Boydr12, regardless of the color name, they looked Matte Black to me and I didn't like them - just personal preference!
