I was going to say not so fast guys they're still polished :lolol:

Any other color besides the green and purple I think I would prefer the gray. I really want to get some paint correction done to see if it will help bring the original paint from the front fenders back closer to the newer paint on the front half of the car.

Polished is absolutely the way to go on your car. They will look fantastic.

Normally I don't like the polished, TBH, but I think they really work on the green and will look fantastic.

I drove the brub tub today, was pretty :fuckyeah:

It is definitely a tad challenging getting in and out of the vehicle with the race seat :doe: :lolol: But I really love the seat, makes everything better once you're in and driving.

Mickeys came out to be $807 pre tax

But only 3 are in stock. Still waiting on center caps though. The seller is getting them replaced by the tire shop since they disregarded the snap ring.

Also the seller packed them incredibly well with 10+ sheets of this foam and cardboard between the wheels. Probably cost him $30 in just foam.Image

Anyone know if the center caps from my five spokes will fit the Z wheels?

I believe they should. My Z06 wheel caps look like the same geometry as my thin spoke caps did. I'd be surprised if GM tooled up new center caps just for the Z06 wheels.

Thanks. The :derp: at the tire shop that took the tires off my wheels before the guy shipped them just hit then off with a dead blow and destroyed the snap rings. Supposedly they bought some cheap Chinese ones and the guy is fighting them for OEM ones. So I was hoping that my stock ones would fit if I don't get the replacements in time. Sucks since the new ones or mine probably will be shinier than the wheels and not look right.

:wtf: :derp: :butwhy:

Yours might not look out of place. It's worth trying.

Yeah I'll try them. My wheels still have that mirror polish level and the z wheels are Texas sun faded but worst thing that can happen is I use some satin ppf on the caps. My buddy would hook me up and probably not even charge me.

could maybe even plasti-dip the caps with a frost for cheap/easy.

Lol I'm about to do it to mine. I bought some of the cheaper Chinese center caps because someone had a set online for $20. Figured why not. I'm not gonna spend the $100 Corvette tax that everyone's asking for OEM ones. Mine are for the track wheels tho. So look dont really matter to me as long as it's close to the same black that's currently on them.
