Default Black Chrome Z06 wheels..

Anyone know a place to get the C5 size. I'm looking for the C5 Z06 style but size of 17x8.5 & 18x9.5.

Plus anyone have them on Mil yellow to show me how they look. I'm thinking about the Motorsport wheels, but the black chrome would look so much better

If you decide to go the Motorsport route, I have a brand new set still in the boxes that I'm selling for $600... They are 17x8.5 and 18/9.5, black with rivets and a chrome lip(http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/p-3...06-sizes.aspx)....

Never been used, only one has actually been removed from the box to look at it and take pictures. I ordered them but decided to go with a different wheel... I'll split shipping with you if you're interested.

Does anyone know of a place where you can get wheels done in black chrome? I really like the affect it has

I am not if they are vendors and if we are allowed to post the vendor if they are not. However I found this on ebay.

The wheels are 17x9.5 with a +54mm offset and 18x10.5 with a +58mm offset. The lug pattern is 5x4.75 (120.65mm).

Google AFS Wheels in Canoga Park California. I'm pretty sure that they have them. They are all over Ebay as well.

The thing is with most black chrome wheels is a lot of imperfections in them.....If you get real close to them you can see waves int he chrome.....Havent came across a company that has got them smooth like regular chrome......

What is the difference between black chrome and painted black? Is it like a gunmetal finish?

Black chrome is actually a "tint" coat, applied over chrome...
Some companies use a powdercoat process as well..
