ZL1 OEM wheels in silver! - Page 2

I like black chrome but not a fan of standard chrome anymore. Granted, I'm not a huge fan of all black wheels either anymore. Both have been played out for too long.

I’d prefer the “machined” finish over the “chrome”. I agree with the member that said it can/does look better on dark colored cars. Just my $0.02

I think if thats polished aluminum it would look great. I still like shiny stuff.

I agree with ya. While the OEM style is one of the better stock styles on most any car, they can still look better. I dislike how they hide the big calipers and were a PITA to clean, even more so if running stock Brembo pads.

I do admit, chrome doesn't look too bad on them although still prefer the gray. Silver wouldn't look bad. Black would be blah on all levels on this car in my opinion.

Before I put the M017's on my car, I considered getting them powdercoated in silver or Super Chrome (a muted version of chrome, not near as bright which is good IMO). In the end, I just kept the M017s gray. I do not think either silver or Super Chrome would have looked great on that style of wheel.

Yeah, the OE wheels are a bi%ch to clean. You need to get a dish brush....ugh.

I am not driving the car right now for various reasons, its parked...so I will look at wheels later.

All the ones I like are like 1200 each.....

Depends on the wheel design, car type, over all look & the person! , I find the Zl1 oem wheels very nice, not sure about the color though!

I think the OEM ZL1 wheels are very nice, color too, the only reason I went with aftermarket wheels on mine is to set mine apart and for a little weight savings, otherwise I think its one of the best looking factory wheels out there.

I would love to see them in matt silver
