Thanks to Elvisuperman, Midnight Silver vs. Polished - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just wanted to point out that there's a FANTASTIC comparison between the two wheel colors in (at least) one of Elvisuperman's pictures. Thought it deserved a thread of its own given the demand for an accurate comparison. Mods, feel free to move/merge this if you so please.

IOM in the front has the regular painted wheels and the VR a column behind it has the Midnight Silver RS wheels.

good eye!

and for anybody that cares, the black ones directly to the left of each car mentioned above have the 19" aluminums that come standard on the 2LT. i don't believe we've actually seen these on a car yet.

True that.

Elvisuperman ROCKS!!

I dont think the front ones are polished, looks regular silver finish.

You're probably right. Okay, so painted vs. Midnight Silver painted.

Thanks for spotting that for us.

Whatever, the ones on the VR are way better!!

link broken?

VenomZ302 · 03-08-2009, 05:24 PM

Link fixed. Maybe the attachment numbers change.

ChevyBoiSS · 03-08-2009, 05:48 PM

Actually i think the ones on the IOM are the standard 20's, the ones on the victory red are midnight silver, and i dont see the polished wheels anywhere in this photo.

The polished are alot more glossy than the regular SS wheels.

TJ91 · 03-08-2009, 05:50 PM

In the other pics from oshawa, you can see the polished 20s, i think for your CGM car, the midnight silver wheels will look amazing, polished will look nice, but i think the MS will look great, i have seen them in person when they are clean, and they look great, not like brake dust, now im wondering how these wheels will look with dirt on them, if they will look more dirty, or more clean
