We got 7"-8" of rain last night. My tire guys store was nearly flooded out, so we'll mount them Monday and get some pictures next week. Thanks for your kind reply.

The wheels look great, but as mentioned hard to tell the true color of the powdercoating from the photo.

Were these OEM black gloss wheels? These look great.

I think you need to install black stems also.

Looks like you've tried all 3 wheel colors on your beautiful LRG Z51

Be sure to post pics of the new black ones on the car.
