probs to you for being different. May not be my style but I wish more of the 4th gen crowd would do something different and not just the same wheels in the exact same color over and over and over again.
Think about, there are a 1/4 million members on L1tech and 90% off them probably have the same 5 sets of wheels.

A. Since when does "everyone" have Fiske FM5s? That's a pretty expensive wheel and therefore not super common like ZR1s, Z06s and TT2s.
B. I hope you're not going to try to sell them to someone else since they've been personalized for your taste; they're obviously not everyone's cup of tea. You'd have to drop the price to account for the refinishing that would have to be done.
FWIW I wouldn't have done what you did but they could be a worse color, like red or yellow. And props for not being like everyone else. It shouldn't be hard to spot your car at the dragstrip.

No props for being different, but props to you for doing what you want. I had SOOOO many haters when I installed bronze Corvette Magnesium wheels on my black '98 Z28 w/ factory GFX 6 years ago. If I didn't come across a deal on a nice set of HRE's I would still have them on there.

Anodizing is expensive. I definitely expected this response, just couldn't resist posting it up.
