5oth AE wheels?
I though when I bought my AE coupe that the salesman told me the wheels were painted. Are they? Or are they magnesium? If they are the painted wheels, How does the color compare to the magnesium?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Painted... take'm off and clean inside them and the wheel-wells every once in a while. You'll love the results and learn a few things too.

They are painted. The AE wheels are a lighter color than the magnesium ones (mag wheels are more of a bronze color).

Thanks! Congratulations on your purchase, be sure to register your car at the 50th Registry: http://www.50thregistry.com/
This year the registry will be gathering over 100 AE Corvettes at the Biltmore for the Fourth of July and running the Dragon's Tail for our cruise event. Don't miss out.
