WCC chrome exchange wheels on Monterey Red.



You just can't beat the look for the price IMHO.

Looks very nice- What did it cost you for the exchange? Did you send them your old rims for the exchange? Did you get the tire sensors reprogrammed fine?

I have the same color on a Vert that will be built 3/21. I too am curious how long it took since I may have the dealer put them on at delivery...along with a couple other mods.

Default Responses to Questions

Sorry I can't answer the timing questions for those who are curious...I happened to be in the area and just stopped by West Coast Corvettes and had them swapped out...they did a great job (except they put too much air in the tires). The wheels themselves were 645 or 695 and installation was 120.

For those who are not aware, this is an exchange. You give them your stock painted or polished C6 wheels and get someone else's stock wheels that have been chromed. If you are not close enough to have them installed by WCC, you send yours to them and they ship the chromes to you (actually in the opposite order and you pay a core charge which is refunded upon receipt of your wheels in good shape). You must then have them mounted and balanced (and sensors swapped out) by a third party.

As long as the third party doing the work keeps the sensors on the same wheels (i.e. left front to left front) there should be no problem with the sensors.

Here's a link to WCC. http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/
I dealt with Joe and everything went smoothly.

I live 38 miles from there.

Anyone know if they do it on site? I'd rather just drive it there and do it. Unless there is a better way?

The price online says $645.
