Just bought CCW 505A CHROME. from West coast Corvettes. They are out there. WCC gets the 505s from CCW, sends them to chrome, then sends them out. I dont beleve they sell CCWs anymore. They have there own line now. I was lucky.

Here's a tip. Buy yourself the Mother's Mini Power Ball and Mother's wheel polish. I have the CCW Classics and the power ball will totally polish each wheel in 5 minutes tops. The thing will even fit in the smallest holes on the Classic rim to polish the sides of the spokes. Alot cheaper than chroming.

I've used the Mother's Mini ball (and matching polish), sealers, etc., and polished aluminum wheels are just tough to keep clean (I currently have SP500's as well).
I haven't tried Zoop yet (figured most of the sealant type products were pretty close), but I might before I take the next step which is to get them chromed.
I want to add OEM TPS anyway, so I figure pulling the tires let's me do a couple of things at once.
I have chromed caliper/pad covers, and after a wash they're instantly shiney and ready to go, vs. the wheels which are dull and spotty till I shine them up.
Ronnie, there's a great chrome company in Orlando I used for some parts a few years ago, I'll have to track them down again. Though I think there's at least a couple of shops in Miami (I see you're in Ft. Laud) that can do it too.
