Default Chrome CE Wheels

I was looking into getting some chrome five spoke wheels on my 96 CE to replace the silver ones. Anyone know where I could get them for a good price?

Try ebay. They have some really good prices on the ZR1 wheels.

Cool, do you know of any quality issues of the ones offered on Ebay, or would they be as good if I got them from Ecklers or someone like that?

How old are your silver 5 spokes?

What condition are they in?

I am trying to make a deal with a member on a car to replcae my wrecked 94.

It has new chrome 5 spokes,, I would prefer the silver.

If the deal goes through,,,,,, And If yours are mint, maybe we could work something out.

I probably won't want to give up the ones I have. I want to be able to put it back to stock one day (I got that trait from my dad) if I ,God forbid, would have to sell it. Reason I ask about the quality for the Ebay ones is because they're $550 for the set, and Ecklers wants like $1300 for the set. But if the quality is there, then that's really all that matters.

I bought from AFS as well, but I also bought a set of tires (I switched to 9.5 all the way around). If I remember correctly, I paid around $1300 for the set. I didn't buy the chrome finish, so I can't vouch for it, but my satin wheels have been excellent.
