Default Got my new wheels!!

Well finaly got them 2 days ago and got the tires for them also.
Of course they are C5 zo6's but i like them alot. put bfg kdw's in back 295 35 18's. they hook alot better then the nexen's i used to run out back!
but ive got alot of complilents already, just driving around.
they have a couple spots on them that have some rash, and i was wondering if anyone knew of any particular paint to get to match the color?

^ Agreed.

Take rim off and walk into Lowes and have them color match it. LOL.
