Spotted , new polished wheel option for SS/SC ....pics inside
Was going by the Chevy dealer today and noticed this , the new polished wheels . Looks much better than I woulda gave it credit for and its a good polish job , unlike alot of factory polished wheels . It would look really good with Lazer Blue and Orange .




Yes it was a 18" . The ports are polished too , unlike the 17" version that has silver ports .
.....also looking at this car which is from last batch of 2006's made , it looks like GM might have gotten a new supplier for the leather seat fabric . The leather in this one , which had base seats , looked a bit different , the finish was a little more matte and there was a little more grain , the SS embroidery was bit brighter too . Overall , the seats in this one just looked ALOT better imo .

When I had my wheels refinished because of the chipping many of us have gotten,
the owner of the shop said to beware of going polished like that. He said that finish will cause just as many problems as the gun metal we originally had. I am happy with me refinished rims which are somewhere between polished and Gun metal.

I like the polished GM ones...I wonder if someone would like to trade for the Gun metal ones? Maybe it's time to talk the G/f into her upgrade to a SS/SC and we can get those...I don't think they will look great on her yellow, but on my Laser blue they would.
