Since a lot of folks are still unsure of the difference between Satin Graphite and Carbon Flash Metallic wheels on the ZR1, I thought I'd take some closeup photos for comparison.

The first three photos are Satin Graphite, followed by the last three which are Carbon Flash Metallic.

Satin Graphite is basically a black matte finish, where as the Carbon Flash Metallic, is a black metallic, glossy finish - just like the carbon flash metallic finish on some C7 Corvette body parts.

Hope these help!

If I was to buy one, I'd want it to look like this....

I ended up with Corvette Racing Yellow, but the wheels...I like the Satin Graphite color but hate the design. In fact, I ordered a set of Forgeline GS1Rs and will put my Satin Graphite ZR1 wheels up for sale.
 
Have my Forgelines on and my stock ZR1 wheels are for sale.
1500 bucks.

Low mileage. Very good condition.
No center caps.
No TPM sensors.
Less shipping and insurance
Free delivery anywhere in the greater Los Angeles area.
