Default Got my stock 5 spoke wheels powder coated black, love them

Got the stock wheels powder coated. Cost for powder coating was $300, but I paid an extra $100 to get them to expedite them and get them back in 24 hours.

Also went with these center caps. http://www.shopchevyparts.com/wheels...-92279714.html


Before.



After.

One of the reasons I am ordering the Z51 is that it includes the black wheels. I think the black Z51 wheels look better than the ones that are optional at twice the price.

I wanted the Z51 package, and agree that the Z51 wheels look much better, but because of the constraint, I couldn't order that package, and didn't want to wait 8 months... So, this is the next best thing.

The wheels are nice and so was the price but I would have saved the $3850 and skipped the center caps.
