No they are cast wheels.

Looks like a good job to me. That is on my to do list.

Now you need to lower that 4 wheel drive... looks good otherwise.

Ok, Love the new look, I have a trained painters eye, since that is what I did for half my working life. :lol: In those pics, I do see the color being off. Sure it could be angles lighting etc. etc. Or you might not just notice it, and that is a good thing. :lol: Still looks great though! :thumbs:

Looks great! Much better photos to show the true color. :thumbs::thumbs:

Like I said, it must have just been the angle and lighting in that night photo.

Looks much better in this photo! :yesnod:

I will tell you another thing that can make it seem different at different angles and that is the finish. Usually much smoother after it's repainted. The factory has some "orange peel" to it.

Thanks nc your opinion was very important to me. Now I can relax a bit :rofl:

Only factory items on my car GM. I didnt want to deal with fitting and quality issues from aftermarket companies.

Excellent choice and the paint looks dead on. It is good when you deal with a quality paint guy. I have done a front, rear widebody and a new hood with a custom painted stripe and my shop was always on the money.:cool:

These are the type of customers I loved when I was a painter, I stressed over the color not being perfect and they just came and picked the car up and were happy as a pig in feces! :lol: :thumbs:

Yes, but I in fairness to you, it is one of the things that I developed from 30+ years in the trade.
As you can tell from some of the comments, not everybody sees what I see. If you can't see it, then don't worry about what I see. :crazy: Car looks great, enjoy it. :cheers:
