Chrome Z06 centercaps
So I got some Chrome Z06 wheels and put them on. Not really digging them, I'm thinking its the centercaps. they are the chrome Center caps with the vette flag etched.
I think I would like them better with a Vette colored flag like the Z16 polished caps do (I was going to get polished with the GM caps but the vendor was out of stock for awhile)
Is there a place to get these but in chrome?
Thanks,
Bobby

FWIW - i had the same problem - you do not want the polished cap on chrome wheels. they will not look right! i have chrome z06 wheels. the wheel vendor gave me plain chrome (repro) center caps with a non-factory crossed flag emblem decals - these were not the corvette emblems. i wanted the actual corvette emblems. i got a set of gm polished center caps, but they just didn't look right - the polished look against chrome. trust me, they don't look right! what i got was actual corvette crossed flag corvette emblems for an 04 corvette. got them at carlisle from a licensed gm vendor. put them on the plain center caps, and i got the right look - chrome caps against chrome wheels, and the correct emblem.

Try Xtreme Motorsports - I got my chrome Z06 wheels from them and they came with chrome centercaps. Included was a small C5 logo that went on the caps. Looks good. I know you can buy the centercaps and logo separate from them.

Joe C- Do you have a part number for the caps you got. I will probably go through a discount dealer I never pay list for GM parts and I sure as hell don't pay over list from Ecklers 
For 200 they can stay the way they are!

Opps I meant the emblems you got for your centercaps. don't want to do the polished ones if they don't look right

I'll try that!, Les Scwab carries them too but I'm pretty sure they have the chrome etched caps like I have...
