The correct code is N73 WA163D (bronze) The touch-up paint is available from Chevy dealers. I know because I had to touch up a spot on one of my front wheels that hit a small rock. If anyone has a perfect front magnesium wheel I'm interested

Not to high jack the thread, but a quick question...
Does anyone know if these wheels can be turned into chorme wheels? What's the process and price involved? Thanks..
