So after I hit that crater and destroyed my wheel, I took it to the wheel doctor to get it fixed, he did a hell of a job. Before:

When they grind the weld down, they're going to have to polish the lip. It will end up shiny like chrome, which will be different from the other rims. So I've decided to get them all sandblasted, and powdercoated Flat Black, and keeping the bolts around the face chrome. Also new tires, 225/45/18's. Maybe a red chevy emblem in the center caps, here's pics:

Tell me what you guys think of my plan, any suggestions???
