Chrome Sawblades look trashy. The OEM blades fit the car to a T. If you want chrome, try different rims.

To all those who have chrome sawblades, where did you get them from? I have a black 92 and have been kicking around the idea of going that route. I bought my car last fall and the stock wheels need more attention than just a little TLC.

I LOVE Chrome Sawblades
I'm on my second Corvette. My first was a bright red 1987 Coupe which had chrome factory rims. And my second is a 1995 torch red coupe that has the chrome sawblade rims.
Quite frankly, I think the chrome rims add some brightness to an already bright car. But that's what usually wins the trophies at car shows. My only real regret is that the rims on my 1995 are repro chrome wheels and the factory chrome wheels tend to have a slightly smoother finish; as the factory rims are machined to tighter tollerances.
At some point, I suspect I will trade the repro wheels for some factory chrome wheels just for that extra bit of polish.
