Default help with ZR1s
I bought a set of black ZR1s, see the pic, any case the guy I am buying them from bought them the way they are from another guy. They are not Grand Sport Vette Rims because the lip is black not machine finished. I plan on buying some 17X11 silver ZR1s for the back, what can I do to make them match the other two ZR1s?

You will have to have a body shop paint the wheels to match or better yet have them powder coated.

Powder coating should look like a excellent high gloss black finish that will be more durable than paint.

Cool, thanks man. I was wondering, if they were powder coated how can I get the lip silver again?

Honestly have no idea, but I am leaning towards powder coating, reason being IF they were painted it would be VERY difficult to mount a tire without damaging the finish on the lip, that is why on most OEM painted wheels the lip is brushed metal.
