I like them better on the VW's than the C5's.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
The chrome is certainly nicer than the powder coat, but I'd be removing either one. I've got a set that needs to go on craigslist soon.

Stretched tires usually go hand in hand, but not always.

Some Dealers did put privately chromed wheels on their new cars (and charged extra for them), this is why some people swear that they bought their corvette with chromed wheels new from the factory.

I've said it many times, I can't understand what the GM designers were thinking when they came up with those wagon wheels on the newly designed c5! Must have had a very bad day when it came to the wheels.

Nope, no C5 came from the factory with chrome wheels. I cite the "Corvette Black Book" for proof!

Some of the ugliest stock wheels ever produced..Makes the C5 look dated..Put on Y2K thin spokes and it looks 100% more modern..They say a nice pair of shoes can do that..
