I took the photo below at a Cars & Coffee in Raleigh the first Saturday in March. It's not a great picture of the wheels you're looking for, but it may give you an idea of what to expect. The car was fresh-off-the truck GTS.

Those are painted from the factory right? Does that mean they never had the silver paint/finish on them, or were they sprayed over you think? I am looking to maybe get this done to my wheels and debating whether or not to do paint with clear coat or powdercoat.

I also think that at times the black center takes something visually away from those rims... don't know.

Mine are directly from the factory. If it were me, I would do paint / clear coat for the shine factor. I think the powder coat will be dull, but it is all personal preference.

I really like how your CS wheels look on your car now....looking good.
