Another black vette with painted ZR1s, this time with a drop and limo tint. Both the vette and the wheels need to be painted, neither shine like they should.





remove the ".sized" from the address to get the fullsize ones.

I like the black wheels without the silver lip on them. I have painted mine 100% black. I did this because this one time I curbed the front one really bad and the curbed silver lip made me feel like a "soccer mom" borrowing the Vette. Then I curbed the rear one at the bank drive thru and that made me think that repainting them black is easier maintenance than shining the chrome or silver. IMHO black wheels = very easy maintenance!!

I know they are not black but they are charcoal grey and that is an option worthy of concideration if you are thinking about black rims
