I do like chrome, seems the polished wheels are pretty nice and ERAY wheels best ones IMHO for OEM compared to SR. My choice TPW next week.
I agree. The polished E-Ray wheels look nearly chrome. Polished wheels on Riptide…awesomeness!!! Is that what you’re getting Bob? Can’t wait to see your E-Ray.

You can get true chrome, but it is expensive, adds weight, and is best suited for a garage queen or fair weather only car. PVD from wheel craft or other reputable vendor provides a wheel that has 95% of the chrome look without the negatives.
Consider just a polished wheel. A polished wheel provides the look of a bright wheel without some of the negative feelings associated with chrome. Polished is more in keeping with a radically new Corvette than chrome, which harkens back 50 years.
You can get your factory wheels chromed for NCM delivery. That would be your best option.
My $.02 is I agree with Phalse. It's a terrible wheel finish. Especially up north, and you live in Pittsburgh. I know how chrome fares on northern cars. Just don't do it. You're better off with a powder-coat/paint. Something that won't cause bead sealing issues with corosion. And that's not even to mention the complexity with chrome over aluminum (vs. steel).
You can probably put a metallic flake clear over silver wheels--and it would look fantastic.

That's why a PVD finish is the way to go for car that isn't a garage queen.
Here's PVD Chrome on a stock C8 wheel (Photo originally post on MECF).
You're the omnipotence/curator of wheel choices I guess
Everything he said!
grey goes with everything, its one of the best possible choices for a custom wheel. i and many others like black also but even i admit that a black wheel can often just kinda disappear, and that takes a little something away from it, you could say. grey meanwhile checkmarks every possible box and is just all around sexy as hell, and usually has some class to its appearance also, unlike all the usual bright/flashy stuff that you see some people doing these days.
