Check the participating vendors on this site. I find the chrome wheels to be the single most enhancing factor of upgrading the exterior appearance of the car, save for new body panels etc. They just make the car sparkle! :yesnod:

I ordered a set from WestCoasCorvette. I have chrome wheels already but the chrome is starting to peel and they are less than a year old, bought them from a place in Florida.

Got mine from Corvettes of Houston in January. I swapped out my original painted wheels for a set of OEM chromed ones. They look great and so far no problem. By the way, COH warranties their wheels for three years. :flag

Default Re: Chrome Wheels (COOL COUPE)

I have a set from West Coast, they also peeled and pitted, they made good on the warranty also. Actually I have to send the fronts back also, I hope they take care of these too. I don't believe that whoever does their plating does a good job or wheels aren't prepared right. It's a pain in the butt shipping them back and forth.The biggest problem you have to watch out for is the mounting, where I had them done where the pads meet the wheel dented them in WCC wouldn't take them backand I had to order another rear set. Where I had them mounted did take care of the issue.Seems funny that just the 2 dented out of the 4 originals and 4 new ones (act 60) weird.

WoW... I hope I dont run into the same problems with my WCC chromed wheels. So far so good but I dont drive the car much. I have an 03 Z06 that I have had for about 1 year and I just hit 2000 miles.

Is anyone else having problems with the WCC chrome Z06 wheels?
