SS vs RS wheels

Can someone tell me the difference in the SS and RS wheels? If I order an SS will the wheels be different, ie upgraded? If so could anyone post pics of the different sets? TIA!

With the base SS you get 20-inch "Sterling Silver" painted wheels. If you add the RS package, you get 20-inch "Midnight Silver" painted wheels unless you pay the premium to upgrade to the 20-inch "polished aluminum".

Color is the only difference.

Just darker. Think steel grey in color.

The Camaro Pace Car has the RS package Midnight Silver and the black SS next to is has the polished wheels.

Based on some of the comments of those that have seen the MS in person, I'm glad I kept them and didn't opt for the near $500 premium on the polished wheels. Plus, hopefully, brake dust will not show as bad on the darker finish.

I think those are the Sterling Silver rims on that Black SS.

I actually wish the MS wheels were a little darker, but at least they aren't bright silver...that's so played out.

If you haven't seen MS in person (which I prefer), get your local auto paint supplier to mix a small amount into an aerosol spray can.
Do a test on a wheel on your wife's car.

Looks a little too dark for me on that color chip. But in the pictures further up the page it looks incredible!
