WCC Chrome wheel Exchange
I just ordered the chrome wheel exchange through West Coast Corvettes. For those of you that did the exchange, can you tell me how the barrel, insides of the wheels were finished. Polished alloy? chrome? etc.

I can say they are not chromed or even polished. To be honest with all the brake dust (Z51 brakes) and road grime who can see what they look like?

I've got a long slim brush that I can slide between the spokes and even the rotors, clean 'em every time I wash it. They look brand new every day.

The brush I have will not scratch. It is a commode brush I believe, white bristles are about 14" long, is U shaped and is curved so I just straightened out. Probably got it Wal Mart. Might sound bad but really works great.
