Photoshop question....

It seems alot of members know how to "Photoshop" pics here, I do not if any member has any extra time I am thinking about the 08 Cobalt SS/TC wheels on the SS. although I like our wheels, the finish still bothers me. so if you can do that so I would know how they look, or post the info on how to do, and I will gladly try myself.....thanks...

you may be right, I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that they are painted as opposed to polished. I am just unhappy with all of the polish marks under the clearcoat with our wheels. but then that is a by-product of polished wheels so I am told......

What about having your factory SS wheels powdercoated? Endless possibilities in finishes, very durable!

I would visit my local coater & look @ their samples. I inquired with my local one about 17" steel wheels, about $60/wheel. There are many different silver finishes, could duplicate stock finish, chrome look, pewter, as I said...endless!
