I like the black center/polished lip look of the Motorsport wheel but would like to keep the light weight original wheels. Is there a wheel finisher that can transform my stock wheels? I want powercoating instead of paint.

I thought about having my Z06 wheels polished. Ended up not doing it, but I found Wheel Concepts (805-376-2113) in Newbury Park polishes and chromes wheels. They may powder coat them too.

Also Speedway Metal Finishing (714-542-7778) in Santa Ana polishes wheels and may powder coat.

www.pantherwheels.com did my Z06 wheels - paint with polished spokes & lip, as you may recall. Don't know if they will powdercoat instead of paint. Call & ask for Paul.
