I purchased mine from CARTRONIX in Houston. There are several places online or your local wheel shop. With and without trade in of your wheels

I had mine done at calchrome. Just a heads up....the shippiing cost is bit much if you are on the east coast.

Heads up. When shopping for black chrome wheels

1. Make sure they are doing the barrels.
2. Make sure you are getting black chrome center caps.
3. Might think you're getting a good price then they hit you with, "barrels and caps are extra".

whew that looks nice.

I'd really like to send off my GS wheels but it'd be around $500 for the chroming plus round trip shipping, might could just buy some for not much more

If you are a DIY'er, Check out Duplicolor "Shadow". It is a Black Chrome paint. I've thought about using it myself. Here's the link. Check out the Video with it. It looks pretty simple and I'd say you can adjust the color & transparency somewhat.

For regular stock Corvette wheels, yeah, it's probably cheaper to buy them in black chrome already done...then sell your originals.
I had these custom wheels dropped shipped directly to Calchrome so I wouldn't have to then ship them from my home.....these were the first set ever done with a red stripe incorporated into them....I'm very pleased with the finished product
