Default Chrome Wheels

I have the factory polished wheels on my C6, and they look ok, but after seeing all the pictures here with the chrome wheels, I think I would like to get em. Would yall mind directing me to the best place to get them, for quality and $$$$$$? Thanks in advance, Bill

I did the WCC thing. It was $190 for roundtrip prepaid Fedex 2 day. I'm in Mississippi, so fairly far from Cali.

I inquired also and the $190 roundtrip cost applies to shipping to/from the East coast as well. Was told 7-week backlog for the chrome Z06 wheels however.

There's also corvettesofhouston.com which is not an exchange you can keep you stock wheels as back-ups. Houston is a little closer to the east coast.

House of Wheels in FL, a Forum vendor, does the chrome wheel exchange. I went with them and am quite pleased. They have two qualities of chrome -- I got the higher quality. Call Bob at House of Wheels (561) 445-7606 or HouseOfWheels98@aol.com.
