Are all factory oem ZL1 wheels the same color?
I have been looking for a set of used oem ZL1 rims. I have noticed that some of the factory ZL1 wheels (non-1le) look darker than others. It’s seems like the 2017-2018 look darker, more charcoal and some newer ones look lighter, more silver. I wonder if brake dust has stained some of the older cars? Has anyone else noticed this?

There are clone wheels in chrome, black, and I believe OEM coloring. If you're not going to track them, I would recommend the clones as the OEM wheels new are like 4k..(forged wheels). MRR M650 - Satin Black https://www.mrrwheels.com/collection.../products/m650 FR 28 - Chrome or Gloss Black https://factoryreproductions.com/sho.../camaro/fr-28/ Both above selections, plus the ZL1 1LE wheels in 20" https://www.phastekperformance.com/c...-Reproductions The chrome ones look damn nice on a black/red/dark blue car.... The OEM wheels are still pricey even used, because most know they're worth good money. You'll be fortunate if you find any real OEM wheels for under $2k from a reliable location...

There are some differences.
I purchased a new OEM rim from a GM dealer. Seems like different shades out there. Do a search for my previous post I made a few months ago. Tyrolblue67 |

There’s definitely some validity here. Reason being, I was at a cars & coffee last month and parked next to a 2023 ZL1. While there, it was noticed that my wheels are a darker shade than his. I wouldn’t have thought that was the case had I not seen it for myself. However, I can’t say if it’s only affecting the 17-18 years. Since the OEM wheels are produced overseas, it’s not unimaginable to consider a slight change was made to the coating. Just my $0.02

There are almost always variations from batch to batch with all types of manufacturing. If a particular item always came out exactly the same, it would be exceptional, not typical.

Take a look.
My ZL1 is a 2019. My car came with the darker "version". Thankfully, the dealer did give me a full refund. Tyrolblue |
