Default Maybe chrome?

Hi guys this is one of those what do u think questions.
I have a 1988 with stock wheels that are ok. Has anyone thought of or done chrome to these type rims? It would be prob very expensive, just wondering.
Otherwise the old girl loos good, mostly stock, just a new radio.
Thanks

there are several outfits that can chrome it, but they are disappearing fast due to epa regs....just google chrome sawblades for vette and you can see several images. I was going to have my wheels chromed for my 88, but thought it was a bit 'much' chrome. opted for set of chrome wheels (5 spoke) with tires; very pleased!!!

My 85 with Z51 has from what I understand, the option chrome rims. There 16x9.5. They look great on a Bronze car, just the right amount of chrome.

YOu can get a set of chromed originals for about $799 from what I see on the internet.

I think I'm going to go with the Z06 Chrome wheels if and when I decide to change them.

Here's a cool site you can pick the color and style of your vette with different wheels.
