Chrome wheels were never available for the C5 from GM, but you could get polished thinspokes.

But - there are vendors that are selling the OEM wheels that have been chromed in the aftermarket. If it is an OEM wheel, it will have the GM stamping on the back side.

Several vendors come to mind, like West Coast Corvettes, Tomz Wheels, etc.

or, you can get repro thin spokes in chrome from House or Wheels or other vendors. Not the same wheels -- usually made in China and much heavier than stock, but work fine for everyday driving.

Do the chrome exchange! I have some painted thin spokes I'll sell you cheap for exchange.

I got mine from JR's custom auto on 183 just west of Frank Parra Chevrolet (but that was like 7 years ago when they were in their old location at Loop 12/Union Bower). The ones I got did have GM stamped on the back.
