Default Competition gray wheels

does anyone have the exact GM Brand or Color Code for the Competition Grey wheels. I am looking into ordering some, or swapping my stock painted wheels for the competition grey option(preferred)

If you get the color code, a good body shop can paint your wheels comp grey and you'll end up with a better paint job than factory.

That is what I originally intended. Does anyone have the color code? I am going to have them powdercoated that same color. I wonder how Black powdercoat would look?

You can find pictures of black wheels on the forum, how they look is just a matter of what you like.

If you aren't hard over on the factory grey color, then that opens the door. Find any color you like and go for it.

Pictures when you're done, please

I had to get them stripped/blasted ($100) and the powdercoating itself is gonna be about $225.

How did you do that? What I mean is: Do you have another set of wheels? Is the car on jack stands?

Sounds like a great idea!

Thanks
