Congrats on your new ZL1 and it is awesome in CRT in the sunshine especially. I wanted the polished aluminum wheels but ended up with the black ones and I agree keeping them clean is a PIA. I'm taking the wheels at the end of the year when the F1's are cooked and having them powder coated and am hoping they are a bit easier to keep clean.

I think you will see a big difference once you powder coat them. This is exactly what I was going to do with mine if I would of kept my 1/LE.

I have to say I love the new rims so much more then the black ones I had, but doesn't mean the blacks look bad, because they definitely don't!

I wish I knew your secret to cleaning the polished wheels in 2 minutes each....

When there real dirty micro fiber extended wandy thing, micro towel and a bucket of soap.. both are two ways I have done my Polish type wheels all the time and neither of them take me more then 2 minutes per wheel..

I was skeptical on this color at first but what the hell was I thinking, it's beautiful.

Thank you ...
If I needed the 10 spoke black wheels I would have gotten them. Not a fan but Thanks for your insight.

I don't know why people insist on saying stuff like that 'you should of got the ten spokes ' and 'you should of got the black wheels '

It's annoying, I got the polished because I like the American muscle look not the baller look.
So people believe me, with what this car cost if I wanted black I would of gotten them.
Not to mention the polished are a upgrade to your build when buying this car for you ten spoke lovers..... for a reason!
Thee end, rant concluded!

1LE wheels are not the same width as a ZL1. Neither are the tire sizes. They may have the same pattern and color but that is about it. Why would you downgrade?

Wheels are the same size.

The rear tires differ 305 for the ZL1 and 285 for the 1LE.
