When they originally announced the Chrome Wheel Option, they said it would not be available until at least half way through the model year. Your dealer should have told you that before your order got held up!!!

Where do you get the High Polished.
IMO The polished wheels have at best a fair polish job and then after they are clear coated they look milky.
I was leanin toward the Polished whaeels until I stratd looking close. Now I think the standard wheel is the best way to go and add new wheels with the first set of tires.

GM's ongoing, Chrome Wheel mystery blabble is really disgusting!!
You can order Chrome Wheels for almost any car in the world!
1. Why doesn't GM just tell us what the "mysterious hold up" is so we can put this to rest?
2. How could GM put a price of 1995 on them when we're told that there is nothing special or fancy about them?
The Chrome Wheel thing can't be a deep, inner company security secret. Why won't a GM rep come on here and answer the above two questions?!?
