I have a 15 Z51 with the optional 5 spoke wheels that I bought in December of 2017. I am a little disappointed in the quality of the wheels. I noticed when washing the car the paint in thwe lug nut openings was coming off and on the the lip of the wheel just before the barrell. The barrels are fine. It seems to me and I am not any kind of expert that they just painted the chrome . So when I replaced my lug nuts for a solid chrome ones I cleaned the paint off as best I could without taking the wheels off, that will come later. A little better prep before painting the barrels would have given a much better appearance. Bottom pic is before and after cleaning the top is the lip
