Default Chrome Wheels

I'm thinking about putting Motorsport chrome wheels on my arctic white C6 coupe. Z06 chrome wheels might look good, too. Will the tire pressure monitoring system work with the new wheels or do I need new sensors? Any pictures or comments are welcome. Thank you.

I have WCC wheels. Did the core exchange for around a $1000. The factory sensors were installed in the chrome wheels with no problem.

I did the exchange and got the same bogus wannabe C6 decal. No problem using the same sensors.

famous1,
What did you do about the wannabe decal? I am debating ordering the WCC Chromes and don't want an incorrect decal on my wheels.

I got the chrome wheel exch from WCC... For a more detailed professional look...I also replaced my center caps with a custom chrome cap...with a chrome raised C6 emblem.. they are not a forum vendor so PM me for details if you want to know...they are a little pricey.. but worth it to me.. looks very nice.. they are attached with thin 3m double sided tape.. looks very integrated.. my 2 cents..

Why not just leave the center cap blank?

I found someone to make center cap decals with the C6 emblem with the Chevrolet emblem and fleur di lis on the right side. They can be made in many sizes. I also got some small ones to put on my billet aluminum MN6 shift ****. There are pics on my website.

These came from Vista Chevrolet here in Vegas. They have a local chromer here in Vegas doing the work on OEM wheels.
These centers are nice and etched.
$1000 installed was the deal they gave me. (exchange of course)
