Do you feel it will be an integrated one? or just a decal like used on the C5's? Thanks for your response Paul..

Wow, this didn't take long. Chrome is much better than high polished.

I am sure it is for a set...exchange for your original set. $1600 to buy them outright.

Okay so can you give the non-polished wheels in for the exchange or is that the polished wheels only?

My guess is that it doesn't matter what they use as a core because they will be stripped and chrome plated. So the obvious choice is to order your C6 w/ the standard wheels and then do the exchange for a $500 savings over the cost of the polished wheels and a superior finish to boot!

Is GM picky about emblem usage?

what about the weight difference?

not that i'm as worried about it as some that i've read, in other threads, but so far no one has stepped up with any facts on the matter...it's one of those issues, the thrust of which depends entirely on the magnitude of the difference....2 lbs heavier for the chrome, no big deal.....but, say, 8 lbs! that would amount to something for those who like running at the drag strip or autox or road courses...

so what's the weight difference between the stock wheel and one of your chrome ones?

We're just talking about the same wheel with a couple (guessing .005 - .006 in? )of mils of chrome added. The weight increase should be negligible

I'm sure the high polished wheels would bring in a greater trade in value right?
