Got the stock 5 spoke wheels powder coated black.
Got the stock wheels powder coated. Cost for powder coating was $300, but I paid an extra $100 to get them to expedite them and get them back in 24 hours.
Also went with these center caps. http://www.shopchevyparts.com/wheels...-92279714.html Before. After.

Nice job! It contrasts with the vents quite well. I was contemplating the same had I gone the non-Z51 route, and if I didn't like the stock silvers as well.
Post some close up pics too IYDM. I think the gray calipers stand out even more now... cool! |

Now that should have been an available factory option from GM... IMO it's better than the $1,495 RQ1 machine faced wheels currently offered for non-Z51 units. This would be like 1/3 of the price too. Great results - wheels & calipers contrast nicely!

Agreed, they should have done this from the factory

I was waiting for someone to do this...awesome! On my non-Z51 cyber grey coupe, I would do exactly the same. Enjoy!

Black wheels are the only way on the new stingray. Turns the whole look aggressive.

What are your thoughts on powdercoating vs. plastidipping?

powdercoat is permanent and professional, plastidip is much more temporary and shorter term...I have done both and use plastidip a lot, but not for wheels....

RedVett,
Black definitely looks better in my opinion! Congrats. Wonder what it would look like if the word "Corvette" was filled in with RED paint? I saw a set of Black Techart rims on a red Porsche once with just the word Techart filled in with red. It was very subtle but looked awesome.... Wonder if anyone has done that? Sorry, just rambling. They look great!
