Default Chrome Thin Spokes

I'm interested in getting rid of the wagon wheels on my 99 mag red vert and replacing them with high quality chrome thin spoke replicas. I've heard stories about chrome peeling off, etc. Who makes the best chrome replica thin spokes and where can I get them? Thanks!

If you are going to spend the money on new wheels, shop around and look at all of the different options. There are many that will make your Vette look great.

Try House of Wheels a forum vendor. Bob stands behind the wheels he sells.

Tomzwheels and house of wheels seem to be the most popular for reasonable money. Money WELL spent to replace the wagons! Good luck.

There are many more options than the thin spokes, unless you want to go with a factory style wheel. Mag reds look really sweet with chrome C6's, or chrome ZO6's on them. The thin spoke is a nice looking wheel, but there are more out there that make the mag red look better. Just my opinion.

I ordered 4 sets allready(for some guys at our local corvette club) from Tomzwheels and very,very pleased with the service AND shipping.Living in Holland makes shipping these wheels not very cheap but made a super deal with Katrina(Tomzwheels)which I didn't get from other forum vendors!!All questions(by email) are answered within the hour and wheels are "in da house" within 1,5 weeks(to Europe that is).
Even 2 missing centercaps were sent to my house(no charge)and on my doorstep within 4 days!!! No pealing what so ever with my chrome thin spokes and after one year now they look like new! So again,great wheels,service and shipping.....Tomzwheels

Greetz Erik.
