GM Performance wants your input (Black Graphite wheels).
Those are Graphite color, NOT BLACK. They are done using a powder coat like process and are a dark gray. They were real smooth and shiny
They asked what you would pay for them to be done as a option NOT for the whole wheel, so we were saying its like 50-60 a wheel to powder coat hence the $200 option. I love these and would say I'd prolly pay $200-250, maybe 300.

I voted no on me paying for them but I would love to see GM offer this as an option. I think silver would be a good base color at no charge. Black could be a $300 option and polished could be a $500 or $600 option. I have a feeling if offered that 2 out of 3 would leave the factory with black wheels. Im just a shiny wheel person myself
From the sounds of things...If people really like this color we could see this out on the car somtime this year

powder coating costs about 60-75 bucks a rim, depending on the shop, and thats only priced on 4 wheels, now if gm did a mass load im sure they could get it for way cheaper but, 240-300 should be the most it would/should cost. anymore than that is ridiculous. but those do look nice.
i think i just pee'd myself. as long as the paint or whatever it is isn't cheap (cracks, bubbling, flaking) i'd take it. they look really hot and i think they look way better than the silver ones. i too would also like to see some polished wheels though.

its not just normal paint on rims, they explained it there, but its similar to powder coating. again we all told them, we could get after market powder coating for 50-70 a rim and if they wanted to do this it would have to be comparable. They want these available to us and I think they will listen. If its a go, they said they'd be ready REAL soon.
Those look great, especially on a yellow car. I would love to see them on a black one. Now I'm considering getting the t/c wheels for my s/c haha. I think $300 at the most considering it's the same wheel, just painted.
