BigSteele: Yes that is a silver painted pinstripe on the lip. Just enough to break up the edge of the wheel from blending into the tire.

raisuli81: wheels are 19x10 fronts and 20x12 rears. 285 wide front tires, 345 wide rears. Stock wheels are 18/19.

The stripe makes those wheels look 100x better. I wasn't sure I would like them, but on the car they look great. Plans to lower it?

Car is currently lowered all the way on stock bolts. If you've seen my mountain shaped driveway, you'd not want it slammed. I like the slammed look, but not the drivability and scraping issues. This is a daily driver, not a garage queen that never gets driven.

We'll see how long that lasts.

that might be true if the stripe was 2" thick and white. The stripe is metallic silver though. Does a wheel that is painted metallic silver look like a white wall?

Tony this might make my new color to buy when I get my vette. These wheels were color matched or did you buy them like that? Are there any other wheels like this but are maybe in my price range?
