chrome wagon wheels
Anyone have some pictures of a black coupe with chrome wagon wheels. I have the regular wagon wheels on my 99 and want the thin spoke wheels. However I was wondering what the chrome wagon wheeels would like like. I might go that way.

for what its worth... I have chrome wagon wheels on my '99, but it isn't black (its Nassau blue). Personally I think the wagon wheels are the way to go. They look really good in chrome, in that there is a lot more flat surface area for the chrome to reflect with... so you get more mirror like surface to the wheels. Plus you get to keep a little of the originality of the '99 in doing that as well. I have pics, if interested (but, again, on Nassau Blue)
Here is a close up of the chrome wagon wheels after a coat of Zaino.

Well I like them both, I think I will go with the chrome wagon wheels too to keep the orgianality. My last car was a 93 & I put the chrome sawblades on it & liked them too. It will be another month or so before I buy them my wife said she will buy me some for my B-Day. So let me know if anyone has some for sale.

I had a set of the chrome wagon wheels on my '99 and they did look good. Really, you can't go wrong with either style.

You might look around the C5 Parts Forum for a set. I bought a complete set in great shape from a forum member (at a good price) for mounting a pair of BFG Drag Radials and sold off the 17" front ones to another member. Just a thought.
