Default Changed my wheel paint - MMM Z28 on Gunmetal ZR1

Well I made a poll on this a while back, debating on whether I should refinish my wheels in silver or gunmetal. I got all of the curb rash sanded out and painted them gunmetal. The poll was pretty unanimous.

Before -


After -






What do you guys think?

I would have gone black so the wheel would have something to contrast to (roof/berger). But they dont look bad ...lower it

Lol. It is heater-hosed in the rear, I don't really want to lower it since I do take it to the track often. I have enough traction problems on Nittos, lol.

Man you really need to lower you Z28, or is it a white truck with Z28 badging on the side?

And on top of that your tires look like they're 3 ft tall!

I think they both look good, but black would look better, only because the top is black.

I really like the Gunmetal man. You need to make a trip up here when the track opens or me Matt, and Josy can make a trip there. I wanna see the beast. LOL

You guys should all make a trip to GB on March 20th. The car is getting dyno'd the 16th, then i'll be running it at the TT on the 20th and race the 21st.

She is completely finished, then today the trans dipstick tube decided to start leaking. Figures. It's always something stupid.
