Chrome wagon wheels?

Does any one make new chrome wagon wheels? I like the stock wagon wheels! I know I'm crazy but I really do like stock wheels.
My car has thin spokes on it now but i really prefer the wagons.

West coast Corvettes has the but you need an exchange as they are rechromes. My car has them. I want to get the thin spokes for mine. They have those in reproductions.

I am with you. I LOVE my WW's. Came with polished ones, and they were only OK. Found someone that wanted to get rid of his wagon wheels and got them for free. One had a small crack in it and I sent it to AZ True Wheel in Arizona and they fixed it, trued it and it came back perfect. Reasonable too! Receive TONS of compliments. Then as you can see in the picture purchased a C5 sticker on the internet auction site for the center of the caps. More compliments.

You can find perfet W/W for less than that, 200 a lot- I got a set with 2 tires and all 4 TPS for 50 bucks (These are my winter wheels)

I was lucky to get $60 for my mint WW's when I replaced them with C6 rims. My son ended up taking his to the landfill. I did keep the caps from his and neither set were chrome.
