[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 15009139, member: 7795"] Hey Andy, there's a few informative threads if you search. Long story short, the factory finish is a multistep paint process done by Helios Coatings in Ohio. They were cool enough to work with me locally on painting 6 base package wheels in the original PP wheel finish. I was also able to sneak in Moving Zen's True Forged gems in the same finish. If you have one wheel done, its unlikely to match as its a unique finish. I will need to contact them again to see if interested in selling the one proprietary paint layer that gives the finish for guys that want to do custom wheels in the same. They only work with OEMs, but luckily they were cool enough to work with me and another member who had a flaking issue, so you might be lucky if you email them. PM me if you want more info. FYI, I was pricing a set of Forgeline wheels and many of the custom wheel places offer finishes that are similar. I think Forgeline's was 'transparent smoke', Cman here did some in that I believe, also in a SGM car like ours. Good luck. -J [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1034259-20-quot-base-wheels-all-around[/url] [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1027215-Base-wheels-coated-in-Performance-Package-color-lookin-good!&highlight=[/url] [/QUOTE]
