I know the Sledgehammer has the Callaway body.. but I do like the silver on Tommy's car, especially with the black Halo

I like the Silver color also.

Wonder what the story was behind not offering the ZR in silver?

I think the barrels on those Dymags would look great polished. Just the right amount of shine.

All though I have seen polished Dymags; I don't think polishing Magnesium is recommended!!!

magnesium tends to turn black quickly alot of effort to maintain the shine

My Challenge car had polished Dymags for some period of time. I may try to polish them and see how long it lasts...not very long if I had to guess....

Silver was not available on any Corvette in the ZR-1 years 90-95, that's why.

There is another on the west coast... Trying to remember there names, a father/son team that brought a silver Z to the Vegas events. I think Brandon was the son but the father's name escapes me... It's been a while...

I was just making the comment from an aesthetics point. Whether it was practical to do or not is not something I was suggesting. Just a polished look up against the silver would be cool IMO.

If you could find a set of the fake Dymags that are made of Aluminum; they would polish up nicely!!!
