Everyone posting in this thread, including the OP, needs to pay attention to what JD is saying here.

Those are NOT stock wagon wheels. NO C5 ever came with chrome plated wheels of ANY style or design. Well over 90% of the ones on the market are aftermarket (i.e. China) wheels.

OP: Unless you're willing to buy an OE wheel, and pay to have it chrome plated, you're going to need another aftermarket chrome wheel to match your existing wheels.

100% LoneStar, and when the time comes, I'm trashing my "Made in China" wheels in favor on OEM C6 polished wheels. Had I known the quality of these wheels were going to what they are, I would have NEVER spent the money on them.

Well there is a guy in the for sale section selling a complete set of the chrome dipped wagon wheels for $200. If you are looking for replacements that'd be a good deal.

The world may never know...................LOL
Hard to understand, especially when you look at the wheels on the 1996 Collector's Edition and how they closely resemble the thin spoke wheels.
