Base wheels
Hello all, I have a base 2017 C7 and I’m trying to figure out the name of my wheel which is a twin 5 spoke gray in color. My reason is I’m trying to do an exchange for the same wheels in either chrome or black and want to make sure of the offset.

Or, consider having yours refinished? If you opt for paint a good local shop might be able to do so pretty quickly, if that's an issue. Plus, they are a know quantity, assuming good condition, of course.

The suggestion of having your stock wheels powdercoated or painted is one that could be considered. It would just mean your car is down for a while and would require a way to remove the wheels and support the car while the work is being done.
Here is a place to get OEM wheels if you want a second set:

How long? IIRC, they did mine in a day. They have a mobile service that goes around to dealers repairing at the dealership and probably painting so they can't be there for too long per wheel. I would think that the best time to do this is when the tires are off like when you get new tires. Car on blocks if you want to ghetto it, take wheels with tires to them and proceed.
