Hi Michel:
I'm sure you've seen these pics of chrome wheels before, but they don't look too bad. As I have stated before, this is a non-destructive mod. Give it a try, I think you'll be pleased. If you can't stand them, PM me with some pics.
Did you see the reply from fixvet to one of your posts. He owns the 1998 Torch Red below. He said "I just drove 1700 miles on the first leg of my vacation and have also washed my car 4-5 times since my installation.....no problems here! I'm currently in Kansas City and have already been asked about my wheels. One guy asked "are those really factory wheels?" and I said "yup"!! He couldn't believe how nice the ol' WW's look with Grant's decals. All my vette buddies in San Diego thought I bought new after market wheels."
Regards,
Grant

Wheel decals
I bought a set from Grant and finally got a break in the weather and installed them. I have the painted wagons on a torch red coupe. I had the same feelings before I put them on. Go ahead and install them, you will be amazed at how much they change the look of the wagons. I think the chrome wheels are a better look than the painted and the decals look better on the chrome. I took the wheels off to do the install and gave them a complete cleaning while I was at it. I let them sit for 24 hours before I drove it, just to make sure the application fluid was dry. Nice look-good product. Chuck.

Those wagons look 1000 times better with the decals, but IMHO, the best overall improvement is on the wagon wheels that are not chromed.

From all the pics I have seen, they look very good on the wagon wheels. Give it a try - you just might be surprised at the outcome.
