Hey everyone,
im looking to replace my wheels with forged rims that have Roswell Green Metallic barrels (and hardware if 2pc) and Carbon Flash Metallic faces.
I have only seen aerolarri (c8 z06z) OEM color match, but really like the forgedlite mc5/mc6 as well.
Only looking for OEM color match (not similar) rather than a single color wheel, at which point i would rather stay stock.
Including AI renders
Time to start contacting the custom wheel companies here on the forum. Most people like powder coated wheels as they are more resistant to scratches, etc. but you may be able to find a coating similar to OEM paint. If you are dead set on OEM paint, then it will be easy to buy that paint and have the barrels painted that color. Good luck.
Thanks, Wheel designers powder coats in factory options (for mc5), but im seeking specific (hey look on this website) responses from those who have had experience with any one of the vendors.
Challenges to monoblock 2 tone paint is that its difficult to delineate the colors based on the construction.
Thanks for your input

Well sounds like they are at the top of your list. thats a cool feature to offer that. I'm sure its an upcharge, but its best to get exactly what you want. Yea, the first time I saw some really cool 2 tone monoblock wheels, was from splux wheels. They looked super cool! I ended up not going down that route as I didn't here back from them on a couple dm;s, but tat design is really cool. Some people do an ombre paint blend and others a dipped look. Its design dependent as you say.
Be sure to post pics when you get them done. Will be nice to see tem.
For sure! And i remember reading about splux, ill check them out also.
the upcharge for the paint is between 300-600 depending on the combination, which is fairly reasonable.
Hoping that i missed an option and someone brings it to my attention 🤣
