I know it looks like a car lot, but it is not.

Default Ohhhhh Yeaaaaa!

I need a set of these on my 14' Z51. I've been looking at wheels for awhile and haven't found anything that jumps out at me. Don't like the "spider" look that a lot of the aftermarket offers, and am partial to the 5 spoke look, so these FIT me.

Might as well make the flat wheel look REALLY flat. Like hubcap flat.

Machine face wheels seem to be mostly overlooked as an option with the majority going full black or full chrome.

IMO the MF look very classy adding just enough flash to accent the car without looking like the car is hubcap-less.

Naturally some color cars look very nice with full black or full chrome too while other benefit more with the machine face wheels. Just depends on the person and whether their taste resides solely in their mouth.
