I can't vote because I don't have the wagon wheels, however I would like to see how many stage coaches are still out there with wagon wheels.

I still have the originals (polished) on mine just waiting for the right opportunity (tire replacement) and some spare change to replace with chrome.

I prefer chrome but lately I have decided to paint my wheels white. Here is a small picture of what I hope they look like soon. I also have a white vette.

When I had my '99, I swapped the original wagon wheels for chrome ones. Made a heck of a difference.

I liked my Chrome wagons until one of them cracked. I have Chrome C6 ZO6 replicas now and love them.

I actually like the "wagon wheels". I guess tha I am one of a minority here on the Forum that does or at least admits to it.

I bought a set of brand new GM '04 polished thin spokes with center caps and chrome lugs & locks that have been sitting in boxes in my basement for probably over a year now. One day I will get around to installing them. Just not in a hurry to replace the ww's.
