Default Z06 wheel question

I have the stock Z06 wheels on my 01 and I think they look dirty no matter how clean they really are. I have noticed a lot of white z06's with chrome wheels. Is it possible to have my wheels sent somewhere and have them chromed? If so, how much $? I like the look of the stock wheels, just not the finish.... any suggestions?

If you can find a local chromer, it should run about $600, or you could go with an online vendor who has an exchange program (can't remember who, off hand) for about the same amount...probably a little more, once you factor in shipping charges for two sets of wheels.

That's all I needed... Corvetteforum members are great. I'll check with westcoast and see what they have to offer. Lots cheaper than a new set all the way around for sure!

Check out this site. I'm buying rims for the wife's Mercedes from them. They do the exchange.
