Love the BMF wheels on the 2015! My 2014 came w/ the silver MF which I grew to like UNTIL I saw the black ones. I live near an excellent powder coater but have not yet figured out how I can go thru the hassle of removing the wheels and letting the car sit up on jacks while the wheels are getting re-finished... In the meantime, I'm in the market for a set of the BMF.

Find a powder coater in your city, I had my wheels done and couldn't be happier. We replicated the look of the 2015 Machined face 5 spoke wheels. My powder coater removed the wheels, removed the tires, powder coated the wheels, machined the lip and spoke faces, clear coated the entire wheel, and re-installed...$205/wheel all in.

I like the look of the machined-faced wheels on my Z51 DSOM Coupe. I also ordered the black badges with black Corvette letters. The first thing I did was to cover the chrome strip on the grille with carbon flash vinyl tape. Now there is no chrome showing except for the stainless tail pipes.

Thanks for the photos! I just ordered some wheels like this for my All-Season "winter" tires on my DSOM Z51.
