Use Rejex and the bugs won't stick as readily and are easier to clean off.

The only other chrome I have is the license plate holder, and exhaust tips. I've seen people add chrome to just about every conceivable orifice, but im good with the wheels, tips, and exhaust holder. None under the hood either.
After I went with a thin, unimposing black license holder purchased at Auto Zone, as my car is a black and I thought it would blend in better. The only other chrome or SS on my car is the stock front and rear flag emblems and exhaust tips.

I have a new C7 on order - first thing on the list: Remove all chrome: i.e., Stingray emblem and rear "CORVETTE" lettering.
Allow me to exercise the 1st amendment, according to all the replies here there 19 people in favor of chrome and only you against.
draw your own conclusions.
Oh yeah I too admire chrome wheels so it will be final count
20 for chrome
1 against chrome.
freedom of speech is great, lets keep it forever

I'm thinking that makes you receptive to change and open to new ideas - great characteristics, in unfortunate short supply . . . .

at least the chrome wheels don't scratch and show the swirl marks as bad as black wheels do.

Default Not missing them

Had enough chrome over the years, not missing them on the C8 but kudos to those having them done! What hobby is all about.
