At the end of 2005 that was a $295 option from factory. Had that been available when I ordered my car I would have got that option.
The only thing is curb rash will show more with this color vs. the standard silver wheels I have now.

Have them on my 07 with the full colored emblem center caps. After 3 different tire installers scratched them all up I had them powder coated a darker gray. I don't think GM could have used any weaker of a paint.

I have them and like the look. Plus all the brake dust is just about the same color so it doesn't show up quite so much...
But PCMusicGuy above was right about how easily they scratch. I've had three flats in a year (lucky I guess) on a different wheel each time. Even taking extra care, they put small scratches on all three. I'm about to get new tires so I bet the last "good" one gets it this time.

I have them on my 2011 Cyber Gray coupe. I just really like the look with that color. It gives the car an aggressive look. My next modification is to add black locking lug nuts.

had them stock
and also kept the color when i went with the Forgestars
I love them and get lots of compliments, but the wife thinks they look like dirty wheels all the time.
