Default Chrome wheels

I'm thinking of putting chrome wheels on my 02 Z.
I do drive the car in the rain and cold (no snow) so I am concerned about the chrome holding up.
What wheels would be best, and would OEM be better than reproductions?
Thanks for replies.

Chromes are great--keep them polished--repos are alittle heavier-about 3-4lbs more but look good--the ones on ebay have been considered good but do homework and get what you want--most wheels are made in china and all meet specs--good luck

I bought reproductions from Bobs House of Wheels for my 2002 Z06 (see sig). They held up great. I had them about 4 years before I sold the car and they still looked great. They were about half the price of OEM.

I'm going to go with chrome 18" C6 Z06's when I get my Z06. I think they will look awesome on the car.
