Chrome Wagon Wheels?
I'm looking at buying some chrome wagon wheels for my 99.
I know, Know.
My question is did the GM Chrome wheels for 99 have the GM Logo on the wheel, just like the original non chrome ones?

MY chrome wagon wheels have the GM logo on them because they were chromed after they where exchanged buy a chrome exchange company.. in my case West Coast Corvettes.. everyone sells chrome wagon wheels in exchange.. I think west coast has them for 550 dollars exchange.. plus shippi9ng and a core charge to be returned when you return your factory wheels.. in 99 I paid 1200 dollars for my chrome wagons plus shipping and a core charge.

Only wheels available on US '99s were painted wagon wheels. You can obviously get some chrome ones from forum vendors.

I really like my chrome wagons - mine were aftermarket that I bought used from a guy who was in Xtreme Motorsports for $450. I took the carbon fiber ring which included the brushed Aluminum cap with the logo off of the center cap from my painted wheels and put it on the chrome cap.
When they're polished up they really make the car! I've gotten a lot of compliments on the wheels from a people - both Corvette people and non Corvette people alike!
They look great against the black car (see sig pic!) Best $450 I could have spent!

The chrome "wagon wheels" are kind of a rarity now...but I still have them and get lots of positive comments.
