Yes, you can. But I dont think directly from CCW. I believe if you want them chromed before receiving them, they send them out to be chromed at their place of choice. Then they come to you. Obviously its extra $$$.

Im sure somebody will be in soon with a couple of locations where you can get chroming done. One I know of is West Coast Corvettes. You can also buy CCW's from them, so thats an option.

Oh WITHOUT a doubt man. Chrome, you can take just about anything to and give it a quick wipe and be done. Like Windex.
Polished......grrrrrr my freakin arm gets tired just thinkin bout cleanin my wheels.

I bought CCW's SP16A's direct from CCW and sent them to WCC to have chromed.
Waiting on their return. I did it for the same reason as you stated, less maintenance.
I went with a 19 x 11 up front and 20 x 12.5 in the rear.

I have owned 2 sets of polished wheels (CCW and HRE) and I gave up on them 
My current wheels are 3 pieces wheels with chrome centers and polished lips. This way, if I hit a spot hole and bend my wheel, I only need to replace the lip which is just around $150-$200 a piece.
The center piece is the most expensive one.
Look like you are going to the right direction
Good luck with your choice of wheels!

I have been reading a lot threads on wheels. The SP20As are the one's I'm thinking of going with because of the looks. And I was planning on a chrome finish based upon all the discussion about ease of maintenance.
Is there that much of a difference maintenance wise. And, as I like to polish the entire inside of the wheel, will I just be adding work by going with the SP20As? The stock polished look great for about a day antil they get dirty.
Just asking.
