Chrome Wheels
Has anyone ordered or exchanged wheels with a company in Ohio named Wheelcraft. They are offering an exchange program that is attractive. I am interested in the quality of the finish and what your experience has been.

Fads are a funny thing. I can remember drooling (literally drooling) over chrome rims on my buddies Camaro. They are a dated look now, as I’m sure the black wheel thing will be soon enough (I own black trident rims). I’m glad there are quality vendors out there for you guys to get the rims the way YOU like them even though GM doesn’t offer them anymore.

I should have my Bright Ice finished Tridents next week, will mount AS tires on them and use for out of state trips. Will keep Spectra Gray Tridents with summer tires for in state. I'm not big on chrome but think they will look great on Red Mist HTC.

I agree, bright ice will look great on red mist, now if I could only find some tires for mine.

What is “bright ice”? Some sort of powdercoat?
Same as “winter chrome” powder offered by One of the SoCal refinishers? Same supplier of powder, just a different name?
I bet it is, but can anyone confirm?
