Does anyone know of a dependable source where I can obtain chrome replacement wheels for my 78. I want the original style, chromed not polished.

If you already have the wheels, why not polish them and get them chromed, it is lot less than 1000$. Just my opion. |cheers|

I got my OEM aluminum wheels chrome-plated in Jan. of '02 for less than $600.00, INCLUDING shipping via UPS & insurance!!! They are immaculate; best $ I've ever spent on a car! If any C3-members are interested, send me an E-mail, and I'll give you the company (outside of D.C.) name & number..... |thumb|

Vette(s): 1981 red corvette, black interior, 4 speed manual transmission, runs great, 104,345 milles, owned the vette for 14 years, mirrored T-tops.
What is the name of the company that chromed your aluminum wheels? Are they holding up well? Are they hard to keep clean and how durable are they? |saluteflag|

My aluminum wheels were chrome-plated in January of '02 by EAST COAST PLATING, Capital Heights, Md. (just outside of D.C.). Their phone # is: 301/350-0393, and I dealt with 'Vince'. They were $135/each, and they've held-up GREAT! I wash them before the brakes (and wheels) get hot (so they won't 'spot') with water and a wash-mit. Chevrolet shoulda done this THEMSELVES; why they didn't |blinkyeyes| |ohwell| |headscratch| If I can help anybody else, gimme an E-mail.....
