Chrome wheel exchange programs
I know the following dealers seem to have exhange programs for wheels to get chrome ones: West Coast Corvettes, Corvette Garage, Radical Wheels, Corvette Mikes.
1) Does anyone have experience with these vendors they would like to share either here or via a private message?
2) Are their wheels GM or reproductions?

I was just at WCC the other day and learned of this trade program... Quite an interesting idea...
Here is a link to the WCC program if you dont have it already...

After. They charge you full price, then credit you when you return your wheels. Shipping is almost $200 total for new and returned wheels.

I used WCC and the wheels are great and the service is excellent........in fact, had one wheel develop a blister in the chrome about 5 months after I put the wheels on............emailed a picture to WCC and they shipped me a replacement via 2 day air! No arguments.....just great service

I have done the WCC exchange program for my 06 and couldn't be happier. I had them shipped directly to my dealer who put them on for me. The quality was excellent. I decieded that I didn't like the center caps I had picked out so I called them to order the other caps. They were here the next day.
I highly recommend WCC to anyone.
