I Was Looking at a Car Mag & I Seen that MTI Made a 427 C6 & They had 19x9 & 19x11 on it & It looked sick! i was going to just get the Stock C6 Wheel in Chrome But now I'm looking for an aftermarket wheel in chrome with a real nice big lip on the rears, anyone have pictures of chromeys on C6's ? i can't find wheels for this car ANYWHERE! Superbuytires.com don't even list wheels for the 2005 Vette,

All Pics will help Guys.

 

Alot of forged offerings are custom made to order. Thus not seen in most tire stores as pricing is quite high, and build time is 6-10 weeks. Best offerings are HRE, Fikse, Iforged, DPE, Weld, and CCW. Pricing will range from 700.00 to 1000.00 per wheel.

Example of Iforged in High Polish ... chrome would cost even more.

You can always do an exchange of the factory wheels to chrome. House of Wheels, and West Coast Corvettes have great prices at 1200.00 or less per set. The new Z06 wheels in chrome are just starting to appear also. Keep looking and dont fret, more choices will be available as the C6 moves further into its life cycle.

Killrwheels is the greatest. Great post with all the information you need - even though he's recommending other vendors

I'm very happy with my wheels I got from West Coast Corvettes. Check out their wheel exchange - it's very popular, if you like the design of the factory wheels but would just like to see them in chrome instead of dull aluminum.

Of course realize there are some significant costs with the wheel exchange:

• $800 you pay for the exchange
• $200 for two-way shipping
• Mounting, balancing - you'll pay LOTS for this because your corner mechanic won't be able to do this on 19" wheels, and few local guys can do the pressure sensors. I got ripped, paid a dealer $270 !!! You'll hopefully do better.
• total cost for me: $1257.

note also that you first are charged an extra $1600 which is refunded when they get your wheels. The wheels are great, but their service was just slightly less than perfect -- you'd better keep all receipts and shipping slips so you can prove you sent the wheels on time, and prove that they GOT them on time. You only have 10 days to get your wheels back to them or you're out your $$$.

I've seen some nice looking wheels you can get for $2000 - $3000 range, so if you're willing to go that high, you'll have the advantage of keeping your stock wheels AND having cool chromies. Do some searching in here and you'll find some good deals.


I posted some more pics and a write up here, click on "chrome"

 

HOLY CRAP -- I was just cruisin the web, and came across this:

cruisinchrome.com - click on graphic
They're having a special on C6 chrome wheels for $970 with FREE SHIPPING !!!-- not a trade, so you'll pay MUCH less than you would with WCC, but you'd still own your original wheels !!!

Can't vouch for the vendor, as I've not used them -- you may want to look into it - it's a hard deal to turn down.

 

I just did the WCC chrome wheels yesterday. I think they look great. I had the wheels shipped to the dealer and they installed them. I am very happy with all involved.
