Chrome factory wheels?
I've searched but still confused. Did or does GM offer chrome factory wheels for 2000-2004 Vettes? If not, who are the companys who sells factory GM chrome wheels out right. Are they factory wheels that they take and chrome? The foreign wheels look good, but I don't think the quality is there. I believe my factory polished wheels are too pitted to be chromed. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I bought my 2004 convertible from a friend at work, he sent his factory wheels to California, (we are in Michigan), had them chromed, (they look great) I will try to find out where he sent them. He doesn't work in the same building anymore so I might have trouble finding him...bob.

Just put triple chrome rims on my 00 vert. They look awesome. The company is OE(original concepts?) Anyway, you can see them by looking up "oe256c on the search line in yahoo. It takes you to a site that sells them. A speed shop here in ARK. ordered them for me. Also put in new wheel sensors since sensor life is about 7-8 years. Hop this helps.

Wheels balanced great with weights inner rim. I put 18x10.5 in rear and 17x9.5 in front and still be able to use original tires. They come with chrome center caps and chrome lug nut caps. Purchased center decals from ebay (decal specialists) 5 for 19.95 + ship. They are excellent quality. Total cost or rims 1K included mount, etc. you can use your same lug nuts. If vette is older than 5-6 years, would highly recomment new tire sensors. Hope this helps.
