Looking to Buy a set of Chrome C5 Rims for a 2000

I am looking to buy a set of 4 Chrome C5 rims for a 2000 Vette. Looking for the thin spoke rims, 17" front and 18" back.

Are you wanting factory wheels or aftermarket? You do know that factory wheels were not chrome? Factory wheels were either painted or polished.

Actually you might find some chrome factory wheels, but they were chromed after the fact.

Polished or after market would be ok..

I had aftermarket chrome's on mime for several years, they were great wheels.

Any recommendations on were to buy these rims from. Their is so many places and want to make sure they are good quality. Anyone know anything about a place called Corvette Wheels?

Bob at House of Wheels in Delray Beach, FL has probably sold more reproduction wheels than anyone. He has a great reputation on Vette forums.

I've looked at their website. They appear to have a decent selection, but I think they are a bit too high in their prices I have bought some things from JW Motoring. They are very helpful and reasonably priced.

House of Wheels or JW both have very good reputations in the Corvette community.

Just a thought - as long as you're getting new wheels, consider 18/19s. The C6 sizes fill up the wheel wells better so you don't have to lower the car to get the right look. C6 sizes are readily available with OK prices. But remember, the rear offsets for the C5s and C6s are different. So you can't just use a C6 rear wheel.
