I've never seen the gloss black, please post up if you get a set. That color would prob look better on my car too.

ZL1's are only offered with 20" Dark Graphite wheels.

ZL1 1LE's are only offered with 19" low-gloss Black wheels.

The only way you're getting ZL1 wheels in gloss black is if they've been powder coated. So looks like your best bet would be have your wheels powder coated gloss black.

could see if factory reproductions offers them in that color.
thier wheels are perfectly adequate for the street; and it does not hurt anywhere near as bad when they get curb damage.

then you could preserve or sell your factory set.

Here's one of many listings on e-Bay for our wheels in gloss black, therefore I assumed there might've been an option for them coming this way from Chevy
Besides while Obama was President I could've sworn I heard something stating black wheels matter, so I want my black ZL1 to look right.

Those are replicas. Cast, made in china, cheap stuff. Now they do work fine for the street as noted and many people run them no problem. Look at MRR, they make some replicas.

The factory wheels on a ZL1 are forged and only come in the Dark Graphite color unless they've been aftermarket powder coated.

Thanks for the warning.
I might have to send mine out to get powder coated gloss black.

I have owned a 2017 ZL1 A10 & a 2018 ZL1 1LE.
On my current 2018 A10 I swear the wheels are darker than the 17 model wheels.

I just had to have a bit of a battle with my dealer in Roseville over 1 of my wheels! Turns out my left rear wheel is a fair amount darker than the other 3. They were trying to tell me that somehow you guys in Dublin switched out one of my wheels and it was your guys fault. Haha! And I would have to make the 4 hour round trip to your dealership to get it replaced. I was finally able to get it far enough up the chain I guess that they agreed to order me 1 new wheel.

The real test will be to see if it comes in darker like the one mismatched wheel or will be lighter like the other 3. I hadn’t really noticed this until after I put the new dustless brake pads on...with the stock pads the wheels were always so dirty they looked the same!!

Oh well.... I gave in today to have my ZL1 wheels powder coated black instead of buying a set from a place in China that makes them who's probably affiliated with Panda Express.

Of course the Brembo calipers will be dosed with some red paint too while the wheels are off in order to help bring back the good 'ol days prior to the crash of America's economy in 2008.

Well post pics when they're done. I'm considering having mine done in gloss black too with white calipers.
