I scuffed the original surface pretty good. If it chips off I can touch it up very easily and semi gloss matches good anyway so Im not worried.

I really dont want to spend 2-3k for a set of wheels for this car especially right now when I am trying to get into a house. Plus these factory wheel are pretty light weight and I like them.

glad you didnt paint the whole rim though, that lip looks good. like a grandsport.

Why spend the money on aftermarket wheels when you can make them look the same for $30. OEM Z06 wheels weigh atleast 1/2 of what any other wheel you can buy aftermarket, unless you go with a race wheel.
