I am not a fan of the machined aluminum face look. But I honestly like it a LOT on your C7. Much better than the black wheels. GJ.

So very much better!!! Awesome look, .. Where can I do the same? .. How much? I have just the standard polished aluminum. I'd guess I'd have to have the insets painted first, before machining, in order to give the machined surface a contrast?

Originally, I decided to go with a "Black Out" look on my Black Rose Grand Sport. I really liked the look, but with the black wheels and black calipers there wasn't a lot of definition of the wheel details.
Well, I curb rashed one of the wheels last week. I went to a shop to get it repaired when I saw that they did machine finishing on existing wheels. So, what do you all think? I like it a lot!

The machined faced look is so much better than the all black look. You made the right decision IMO.

Your car looks much better, IMHO. I originally had black on my GS, but they just didn't read very well. Invisible. Went with the OEM machined face and was much happier. Then I wanted something unique and went with some forged wheels. Hopefully, I'm done. This ****'s expensive.

Love it, and love the backdrop on the first picture, looks like a winner to enlarge for the Man Cave.
