Default Wheel color change

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my 2006 2500hd. I work at a chevy dealer and found that my wheel were starting to flake the clear so i had them re-finished under warranty. or so they thought thay would get cleared again i had them do them in high gloss black what do you think. I think it looks like a S.W.A.T truck

before



After

Your kidding right! .........Sad to see that this black wheel lack of Contrast thing is falling into peoples personal rides too! Great looking truck! but come on black wheels theres no comparison in those photos sorry, Not enough contrast ecs. a little chrome as it is and Black wheels. Just remember trying to keep up with the jones isnt cool and this dark wheel fad isnt either!

Cool i have 3 Black vehicles aswell! Its not the color black its the Wheels black! so many people are doing the dark wheels and on newer vehicles its hard to justifie as a nice look because theres not much trim or chrome as it is for contrast! or even a nice balance of Contrast! And i have seen so many people doing and choosing dark wheels because others have. not that you have, but personally great truck but a little to military looking for me !
I think maybe if You left the wheel edges chrome and just did the centers black would of helped some, but just mpo

I agree, I'd have all my cars Black if I could afford to paint them all black.
Black Cars Rule!

My old Camaro

My soon to be drag car.

i like the all black look. i did black wheels on both my old trucks and loved it. the factorys look good. i had H2 wheels on my 04.5 diesel and then the factorys black on my 2008.






on a side note. im suprised they did anything about the wheels. we have had a few issues with some of our trucks and they won't do anything for us

sorry to see that the dealer would not help you out, but i must say that i have been working their for 6 years since i was 18 and it took a while for them to o.k my wheels, they sent out the feild rep to look at them and see that i only have 8k miles on the truck in over 2 years. so iguess i was lucky to get them coverd.
