I would click that option without a second thought . I hate polished wheels unless they are a very high end wheel like a Fikse or CCW . Silver looks good , but the Black Graphite looks absolutely sick . As far as pricing , the competition grey wheel option on the Corvettes is a $395 option . I would think $200 or a lower end Cobalt for special painted wheel would be priced about right , I would pay that . In hindsight though , the 05-06 gunmetal shadow paint wasnt exactly a simple process to create the dark stainless steel look and it was free . That wheel wasnt just single stage of paint , it was a 2 stage that appeared to be black powdercoat as base and a special paint over that .

Those look like the wheels that used to come on the previous Camaro SS except black. Looks nice, I'd want some.

Hopefully these'll be available at the dealership - and NOT cost 300 per wheel. If it was like 400 for all 4 I'd pick a set up instead of some s/c 18's..

I would love to order a set of these for my SS/SC if my aftermarket wheels ever took a dump! IMHO, the stock polished/gunmetal wheels on a black car doesn't look good.

Really? I was gonna get a set for my 2.4 that's black, but I figured I shouldn't because if I did, the lowering springs wouldn't make as big of a difference.. I like the s/c wheels, but THESE are VERY nice..

^^ If you have a Sunfire, don't count on it. I believe the only other car with our lug pattern is a Saab..

They look awesome in person... Think about what it costs if you were to get them PC, it would probably be in the range of $300 anyways plus they would be covered by GM warranty. I'm all for it, and they look sick in person!
